ASHTABULA COUNTY, OHIO · 50 MIN FROM OUR CORTLAND OFFICE
Kingsville-area wells give water slowly. Of the 295 logs within five miles that record a yield, the median is 3 gallons a minute, a quarter give 2 or less, and only a quarter reach 9. A new well here is planned around stored water and a pump that doesn't outrun the hole.

WHAT WE DO IN KINGSVILLE
Whether you’re on a private well or city water, the same crew handles the water source, the pressure, and what comes out of the tap.
EPA lists chlorine for Aqua Ohio - Ashtabula, before and after filtration, and no chloramine. If chlorine is what you notice at the tap, a CityLux system removes it for the whole house. Homes on wells start with a test of their own water.
Casing usually runs to rock, and here rock starts a median 40 feet down. The 324 local logs put the median well at 67 feet, seventh of 19 county towns, with the middle half from 50 to 91.
Water rests a median 28 feet below ground in 295 logs, so the pump hangs deeper than that. On a well this slow, the water standing above it in the bore does much of the work at busy times.

A household can live on a well that gives 3 gallons a minute, but the system has to be built for it. Showers, laundry and dishes draw water faster than that in bursts, and the difference comes from storage: the pressure tank at the house and the column of water standing in the bore. A larger tank delivers more between pump starts.
The pump is sized to the refill rate measured when the hole is test-pumped. One that outpaces the well pulls the level down to its intake and runs short of water, which is hard on the motor. Sizing the pump system starts from that figure, and spreading heavy use through the day helps the well keep up.
The town center lies in the service area of Aqua Ohio - Ashtabula, a privately owned system that takes Lake Erie water through an intake. EPA lists one treatment plant and 4 storage tanks for it. Particles are handled by coagulation, flocculation, settling and rapid sand filtration. Permanganate is listed for organics and powdered activated carbon for taste and odor. Chlorine, fluoride and an orthophosphate inhibitor for corrosion control round out the list.
Every lead sampling round on the system's record is under the 0.015 mg/L action level. Those results are measured across sampled homes, and a single tap can differ. Chlorine removal covers the whole-house CityLux, and reverse osmosis at the sink handles lead if a test finds it.
WATER IN ASHTABULA COUNTY
In USGS samples from across Ashtabula County, taken 1982–2016, 89% of wells were hard or very hard, 56% carried iron above the staining line, 78% had manganese above 0.05 mg/L. The full record, and what it means for treatment, is on the Ashtabula County page; your own well gets its own test.
WHY KINGSVILLE CHOOSES CHATFIELD
Rated 4.7 on Google across 104 reviews. Here is what working with us looks like, in a customer’s words.
“We bought a new home November 1st, 2024 and low and behold it had a collapsed well. After several quotes, we chose Chatfield drilling, and we’re glad we did! Matt & his team arrived quickly to assess the situation, and formulate a plan to get the H2O flowing again. Even through the holidays, they did not waiver. Eric their driller worked hard in the brutal NE Ohio cold to pound a well for us. We are beyond pleased, and have fantastic water!”

A LITTLE CLARITY
Our Cortland office (7115 Hoagland Blackstub Rd. Unit C, Cortland, OH 44410) is about 50 minutes and 43 miles by road from Kingsville. Service calls for Kingsville are scheduled from there.
Kingsville and the municipalities around it: Kingsville Township, North Kingsville, Ashtabula Township, Sheffield Township, Plymouth Township, Conneaut, Monroe Township, Ashtabula. Beyond those, the rest of the 19 Ashtabula County communities on our service map, from the same office.
Ohio’s well-log database lists 324 domestic wells within 5 miles of Kingsville: the median is 67 feet deep, and the middle half fall between 50 and 91 feet. The median well was logged at 3 gallons per minute. Drillers reached bedrock at a median of 40 feet. Your own well's depth depends on the ground under your lot.
Both are on EPA's list for the system. Permanganate is an oxidizer, listed here for organics removal. Powdered activated carbon adsorbs compounds that give water an off taste or smell, and it is listed for taste and odor control. Both work during treatment, before the water reaches your tap.
It is meant to help. EPA lists an orthophosphate inhibitor, which the system adds to protect pipes. It says nothing about one house's service line, solder or fixtures, which vary from home to home. A certified-lab test of your own tap shows where you stand, and reverse osmosis at the kitchen sink is the usual answer if it finds lead.
