PERRY TWP. – Aqua Ohio has started replacing 8,800 feet of waterlines along Bailey Street NW, between Rohr Avenue and Genoa Street.
The second segment of the project will run along Genoa Street NW, between Lincoln Way E and Banyan Street NW, the water company said. A start date has not been set for that portion.
Overall, the $1.6 million project aims to improve system reliability, said Keith Nutter, Aqua Ohio’s area manager. The existing 63-year-old water main has a history of fractures and service interruptions. We’re also increasing the diameter of the main line, helping to assure we have enough water supply for high-demand needs like firefighting, Nutter said in a prepared statement. Our contractor has just begun work on site, and we expect to have everything complete by the end of November.
