WASHINGTONVILLE Village Council this week selected a civil engineering firm to design the new water tower.
Council hired Engineering Associates of Wooster for the design engineering of the tower, which will now be submitted to the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency for approval.
Once approved, council can use the design plan to apply for funding through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program.
Council reviewed design proposals from both Engineering Associates and Howells & Baird at a special meeting. Council delayed the decision for two weeks so Howells & Baird could provide a cost estimate. Engineering Associates had already prepared the preliminary cost estimate for replacing the water tower.

WASHINGTONVILLE Village Council Monday night agreed to give a second civil engineering firm extra time to submit a design cost for a new water tower.
Council scheduled a special meeting at 6:30 p.m. Feb. 1 at the administration building to review design proposals for the water tower, which is being replaced largely through grant and loan programs.
Council had planned on making a decision Monday night, but wanted to allow Howells and Baird of Salem to provide an estimate for the design engineering. Howells and Baird submitted a statement of qualification, but did not provide a cost estimate. Council already has a cost estimate from Engineering Associates of Wooster, who prepared the preliminary cost estimate for replacing the water tower.
