OHIO · 26 MIN FROM OUR CORTLAND OFFICE
Mahoning County is half an hour south of our Cortland office, and it holds the largest well record on our map: more than ten thousand domestic well logs, with a median depth of 120 feet. Youngstown, Canfield, Boardman, Poland, North Lima, and the townships around them get the same crews.

WATER IN MAHONING COUNTY
Nineteen of Mahoning County’s 21 mapped town centers sit on the same rock, the Allegheny and Pottsville Groups, and only six of the 21 towns fall inside a public water system on EPA’s map.
The Allegheny and Pottsville Groups are mapped at every town center on the county map but two: Lowellville and Youngstown, which sit on the Maxville Limestone with the Rushville, Logan and Cuyahoga Formations. Yields are just as even. Most towns have a median of 15 gallons a minute; Beloit, North Benton, Petersburg and Sebring are at 12, and New Middletown at 13.
Depth to rock varies more. The median is 21 feet near Austintown and 25 near North Jackson and Youngstown, against 57 near Damascus, 53 near Sebring and 52 near Beloit. Where rock sits deeper, more of the hole runs through soil and loose material before the drill reaches it, which affects how much casing a residential well needs.
Wells near Sebring run deepest on the county map, a median 140 feet in the logs, then Beloit at 136 and North Benton at 130. The shallowest are Lowellville at 105 and Austintown and Youngstown at 102. Water stands a median 25 to 37 feet below ground across the towns, deepest near Sebring, and 30 feet or more near most of them.
At these depths a submersible pump is the standard choice, set well below the water level, and the cost of a new well rises with depth. Where an older well has lost flow or pressure, a well inspection comes before any decision to drill again.
Three public systems cover those six towns. The largest, Youngstown City at 130,530 people, is mapped at Youngstown, Austintown and Boardman, and its water is bought from the Mahoning Valley Sanitary District. Canfield’s city system buys from Youngstown. Sebring Village takes its own water from the Mahoning River and is mapped at Sebring and Beloit.
The rest of the towns, from Berlin Center and Campbell to Poland and Struthers, show no system on the map. That reflects the map, not a finding that every home there is on a well. The county’s USGS record for well chemistry is thin as well: hardness from 5 wells, pH from 7, and nothing on iron or manganese. The Mahoning County water treatment page sets out what that leaves to a test.

Each well counts once, as the median of its samples. The 0.3 mg/L iron and 0.05 mg/L manganese marks are EPA secondary standards, which are aesthetic limits, not health limits.

WHY MAHONING COUNTY CHOOSES CHATFIELD
Rated 4.7 on Google across 104 reviews. Here is what working with us looks like, in a customer’s words.
“Chatfield Drilling replaced a submersible pump, extended our well casing above ground, and installed a sanitary cap at our farm house. This is our first experience with a well. Both Matt and Sam were happy to answer all of our questions, no matter how small, in a way that we could understand and enabled us to make informed decisions.”
ALSO SERVING
We cover ten counties in two states from the same two offices. If you’re near a county line, either page gets you the same crew.
A LITTLE CLARITY
Yes. Well drilling across Mahoning County with methods chosen for its soil and water table conditions, from Ohio EPA permitting through submersible pump installation. The state well-log record holds 10,739 domestic wells for the county with a median depth of 120 feet and a middle half between 85 and 165 feet, so the estimate comes from your site.
The federal record is thin here, five sampled wells, and three of the five were hard or very hard with a median around 10 grains per gallon. That is only a hint, and a softener gets sized from your own test.
Our Cortland office is at 7115 Hoagland Blackstub Rd. Unit C, Cortland, OH 44410, about 26 minutes and 18.8 miles by road from Youngstown. Service calls for Mahoning County are scheduled from Cortland.
All of them. Our service map lists 21 Mahoning County communities, including Canfield, New Springfield, North Lima, Petersburg, Youngstown, Austintown, and the townships between them. If your town is not on the map, call anyway; the county line is the boundary, not the town list.
In USGS records for 5 Mahoning County wells, the median hardness was 175 mg/L as calcium carbonate, about 10.2 grains per gallon, and 60% of wells were hard or very hard. A softener sized to your test result handles it. The test comes first because hardness varies well to well, even on the same road.
Ohio's well-log database holds 10,739 domestic well logs for Mahoning County: the median well is 120 feet deep, and the middle half fall between 85 and 165 feet. Your well's depth depends on the formation under your property and the yield your household needs, which is why Chatfield tests water flow rather than drilling to a number.
