Drought Hurts Black River Flow Across Lorain County
Last summer's drought left the Black River about 25 percent below normal with many tributaries running low. Oberlin and Grafton rely on river water as conservation measures persist. Wellington supplied 70,000 gallons via a Jones Road reservoir to Oberlin, while rainfall deficits across Lorain County narrowed to 2.27 inches below normal after recent rain and snow. Farmers face crop losses and worry about the next growing season as some turn to the Rural Lorain County Water Authority for assistance.
