Worthington trivia from the Timeline on the Worthington Memory site
June 25, 1912 - "Council passes resolution to install a public water works and water becomes available throughout the village the next year. "
Sure enough further down on the timeline, in 1913 the Village of Worthington had water.
The Village of Worthington was what is now known as the Old Worthington neighborhood, from Morning St. to Evening St. and from North Street to South St. Worthington would not become a city until the 1950s.
Prior to getting water the Village of Worthington residents would have had individual wells.
Worthington Trivia or Worthington History - depeding on how you look at it. The village was 100 years old 9 years earlier in 1903.
Today Worthington residents get water from the city of Columbus like most of Central Ohio...
