PULVERT BLOCKED UNDER THE STREET
POMEROY March 4 Street man Matt Crary began an investigation into the culvert linking Sugar Run with the river. The two block long conduit from Third Street north to the river remains clogged with debris and cannot carry water after heavy rain or thaw. A floating log may bar entry from the river end, forcing water to back up. Council will likely consider permanent repairs and construction corrections.
