WINTERSVILLE Upcoming gas line replacements, use of federal funds for COVID-19 relief and final approval of water rate increases were among matters before Wintersville Council on Thursday.
Village Administrator Walter Ziemba told council Columbia Gas officials have advised the company will be replacing about 1,700 feet of gas line along Canton Road from the Kroger store north to Meadow Road and along side streets in that area early next year.
He said the company will be testing Meadow Road itself to determine whether a line there will be replaced.
Ziemba said Columbia Gas hasn’t specified a date at this time, saying only the work is slated for the first quarter of 2021, pending suitable weather.
