UHRICHSVILLE Portions of Newport Avenue and Washington Avenue have begun to slip in recent days, a problem that Mayor Mark Haney attributes to the removal of a low-head dam on Big Stillwater Creek in October. Newport Avenue, back of the dam, has gotten worse every day, Haney said, noting that a catch basin there has separated from a pipe.
Meanwhile, Waterworks Hill Road south of town remains closed to traffic, with the portion of the highway next to the creek continuing to sink. The 1,200-foot long slip on the county road was noticed shortly after the dam removal.
Jeff Arthurs, who lives on S. Water Street Extension, has seen a 70-foot portion of his property along the creek sink about 5 to 6 feet in recent months. In some places, the drop off begins about 14 or 15 feet from the creek.
