Grafton water tower plan blocked by park deed limits
A Lorain County court ruled the 200,000 gallon water tower cannot be built at Reservoir Park in Grafton. Deed restrictions from 1999 require the land to remain recreational park land for a 20 year span, expiring in 2019, and do not allow a water tower. The village contends the tower would serve municipal needs, but the magistrate found the tower’s primary function falls outside recreation.
