N State Street Sewer Condemned by 15 At Council Meeting
Fifteen residents of N State street and E Ohio protested the planned 100 family federal housing addition to the sanitary sewer at City Hall. They alleged the sewer is faulty and overloaded during heavy rain, backing up into basements. Mayor Baldwin cited Engineer Lear’s testimony that the sewer size is adequate, noting roof drainage feeds into the sanitary line. A petition by 11 residents urged delaying sewer connections until the existing problems are fixed. Mayor Baldwin announced ordinance 1528 restricting roof water into the sewer with fines of 10 to 50 dollars per offense. Residents were urged to check storm sewers for proper separation and city officials pledged rapid remediation efforts. Robert Stoolmiller was sworn in as village clerk.
