Pickaway County Water Quality

Pickaway County, Ohio is a largely agricultural county south of Columbus, anchored by Circleville — home of the famous Pumpkin Show. The county has a significant rural population on private well water, with hardness levels frequently reaching 15–20 gpg due to the region's limestone and dolomite geology. Circleville city water runs 12–14 gpg — still very hard. Iron contamination is widespread in Pickaway County well water, and sulfur odor is a common complaint. The county's proximity to Columbus is driving some suburban growth in the northern townships, bringing new construction with appliances that need water treatment protection.

12–20 gpg
Very Hard to Extreme

Circleville city water runs 12–14 gpg. Rural Pickaway County well water frequently tests 15–20 gpg — extreme hardness that causes rapid appliance failure and significant water quality issues.

Iron
Widespread in Well Water

Iron contamination is one of the most common water problems in Pickaway County, causing orange staining on fixtures, laundry, and appliances throughout rural areas.

Sulfur
Rotten Egg Odor

Hydrogen sulfide is common in Pickaway County well water, producing a rotten egg smell that makes water unpleasant for all household uses.

Agricultural
Nitrate Risk

Pickaway County's agricultural character means nitrate contamination from fertilizers is a concern for well water users, particularly those near crop fields.
