Summary: The project is within the “Mid East” planning area and is generally bounded by Main Street on the north, Striebel Road on the west, Interstate 70 on the south, and Big Walnut Park on the east. Construction is expected to begin in winter 2024, with advance notice provided to area residents providing timing of the work, contacts, and a request to restrict water usage for the short time (8-10 hours) while sewer main is being lined.
CIP# 650875-120210
This project will rehabilitate existing sanitary sewer mains and associated manholes in the Blueprint Livingston-James 5 project area(PDF, 1MB). It is located within the “Mid East” planning area and is generally bounded by Main Street on the north, Striebel Road on the west, Interstate 70 on the south, and Big Walnut Park on the east.
The goal of this project is to reduce the amount of inflow and infiltration of non-sewerage waters to the sanitary sewer system thereby reducing occurrences of water in basements and sewerage overflows to area streams and rivers.
The project includes over approximately 130,000 linear feet of 8-inch to 36-inch sewers and 531 manholes. The sewers will be rehabilitated using cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) methods and the manholes will be rehabilitated with a cementitious liner. Construction is expected to begin in winter 2024.
Area residents will receive notifications prior to the work being performed. The notifications will give information on timing of the work, contact information and a request to restrict water usage for the short time (8-10 hours) while sewer main is being CIPP lined.
Financing for this project is being provided through a below market-rate loan through OEPA's Water Pollution Control Loan Fund (WPCLF) Program. Prior to granting this loan, the Ohio EPA required a detailed submittal from the Division of Sewerage and Drainage to determine the project's eligibility.
The Ohio EPA has completed a Limited Environmental Review (LER) for this project. View the LER(PDF, 505KB) and the letter of "Notice of Issuance of a Limited Environmental Review and Finding of No Significant Impact.”
