The Parkersburg Utility Board provides water for about 34,251 residents living in the Parkersburg area. Established in 1811, the Parkersburg Utility Board collects water pumped from five radial collector wells (Ranney Wells). These wells draw from an unconfined aquifer, meaning that the sand and gravel that make up the aquifer are not isolated from the surface by a clay or rock layer, which allows for large quantities of water to filter down through the soil, providing a plentiful source of water for the wells.
