Full Advertisement ABOUTThe Public Works Department is responsible for the management of the City's infrastructure system, which includes streets, sanitary and storm sewers, water lines and traffic signals.
We provide engineering services and contract administration for capital improvements, infrastructure replacement and maintenance. The department also reviews and approves subdivisions and maintains records for all infrastructures. NEWSUS 224 SIDEWALK AND PEDESTRIAN IMPROVEMENTS
On September 30, 2020, the City received notice that our Safety Funding request for the pedestrian improvements along US 224 was approved. ODOT’s safety funding review committee of the PID/Abbreviated Application No. D03-2020-013 - HUR-US-224; 5.15 to 6.32, made the decision to Award: $491,600.00 for this project. Normally ODOT funds 90% of the project and the community pays for 10% but this project will be funded at 100% by ODOT. The process moving through the design and reviews takes longer than a normal project and we most likely will not see construction until 2023. WATER TREATMENT SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS The City completed a water system analysis to identify where our water system needs improved. We have engineered the project and it is currently out for bid. These improvements will occur at the water plant itself and the reservoir. OHIO PUBLIC WORKS COMMISSION PROJECTS Every year we apply for a grant from the Ohio Public Works Commission. This grant money is competitively awarded and every year for over the last ten years we have won a portion of that grant money. We are happy to report that the City’s 2023 Street Improvements project has been recommended for approval by the Engineering Subcommittee. The Executive and Integrating Committees will be voting in early January on all the projects submitted. |
