Beechwood gravity-flow sewer plan eyed by county
Jokisch and Scott urged Athens County commissioners to consider a gravity-flow sewer for Beechwood, a cheaper option than ejector and grinder pumps. They discussed easements, right of way from landowners including James Wetzel, and the aim to avoid eminent domain. Estimated costs include 2000 to 3000 dollars per property to hook in and similar trenching and septic decommissioning expenses.
