COLUMBIANA COUNTY, OHIO · 48 MIN FROM OUR CORTLAND OFFICE
Washingtonville’s village system buys its water: it comes from Salem City, marked filtered, and EPA lists no treatment steps for the village itself. Around it, private wells find water close to the surface, resting a median 34 feet down across 1,889 logs, with half yielding 15 gallons per minute or more.

WHAT WE DO IN WASHINGTONVILLE
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.
Village taps get Salem’s water, and the village report says what it contains. On a private well, the county’s USGS samples point to hardness, iron and manganese as the common findings, and a water test gives your well’s own numbers.
The middle half of the 2,106 local logs finished between 85 and 165 feet, around a 120-foot median. Rock turned up 19 to 58 feet down in the middle half of the logs that record it, so the casing run differs from lot to lot.
Water at rest sits a median 34 feet down, which keeps the lift short. With half the logs at 15 gallons per minute or more and a quarter at 25 or more, the pump can be sized for the household.

Washingtonville's village system is small: about 801 people and 338 connections on EPA’s record, with one storage tank. Its water is purchased surface water from Salem City, which the record marks as filtered, and no treatment steps are listed for the village itself, so the record doesn’t say whether anything is added locally. The village’s water report covers homes on it.
All lead rounds on record, 2016 to 2025, came in under the 0.015 mg/L action level, and 2021 and 2023 are recorded as zero. Those are system-wide results; your own tap can differ. A water test at your tap is where to start, and should it find lead, reverse osmosis at the kitchen sink handles it.
Across 1,889 local logs, water at rest stands a median 34 feet down, within 20 feet in a quarter of wells and no deeper than 54 in three of four. That’s a short lift for the pump, with a good column of water above it once it’s set below the level.
Yields match: half the logs record 15 gallons per minute or more and a quarter 25 or more. The median well is 120 feet deep, with bedrock a median 34 feet down, where the casing seats. A standard submersible pump and pressure tank sized to the household fit most wells here, and a well inspection checks an older system against these figures.
WATER IN COLUMBIANA COUNTY
In USGS samples from across Columbiana County, taken 1986–2016, 86% of wells were hard or very hard, 79% carried iron above the staining line, 86% had manganese above 0.05 mg/L. The full record, and what it means for treatment, is on the Columbiana County page; your own well gets its own test.
WHY WASHINGTONVILLE 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.”

A LITTLE CLARITY
Our Cortland office (7115 Hoagland Blackstub Rd. Unit C, Cortland, OH 44410) is about 48 minutes and 39 miles by road from Washingtonville. Service calls for Washingtonville are scheduled from there.
Washingtonville and the municipalities around it: Leetonia, Green Township, Salem, Fairfield Township, Beaver Township, Columbiana, New Waterford, Goshen Township, Lisbon, Canfield Township. Beyond those, the rest of the 21 Columbiana County communities on our service map, from the same office.
Ohio’s well-log database lists 2,106 domestic wells within 5 miles of Washingtonville: the median is 120 feet deep, and the middle half fall between 85 and 165 feet. The median well was logged at 15 gallons per minute. Drillers reached bedrock at a median of 34 feet. Your own well's depth depends on the ground under your lot.
Because the village buys its water from Salem City, which the record marks as filtered, and no treatment steps of the village’s own are listed. The record doesn’t say more than that. The village’s water report describes what reaches your tap, and a test there can answer anything specific, such as lead or hardness.
For the pump, yes: water resting a median 34 feet down means less lift and more room to set the pump well below the level. Quality is a separate question, though. Whatever the level, a well here is worth testing for hardness, iron and manganese, the common findings in Columbiana County’s USGS samples.
