Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
Phase I of this project involved the collapsed 48-inch sewer main on Arlington Avenue from Woodsdale Ave. to Francis Ave. which needed to be fully replaced rather than repaired. Since July 2025, crews have been replacing the damaged pipe. Phase I of the project is almost completed, but additional deficiencies have been identified within the remaining section of the sewer main from Francis and points west. As a result, additional funding is needed to initiate Phase II and complete the necessary repairs and replacement work to restore the integrity and functionality of the sewer system.
This Ordinance authorizes applying for and accepting a loan from the Ohio Water Development Authority for Phase II of this project.
