Sanitary Sewer Separation, Phase V.
The Village started its phased sewer separation nearly two decades ago, investing millions of dollars to make our waterways cleaner and safer. This is an important project that will further eliminate combined sewer overflows to the Muskingum River. Combined sewers convey sewage and stormwater in the same pipe. During wet weather, the amount of wastewater exceeds the carrying capacity in the pipe and/or pump station and it overflows to the Muskingum River. The Phase V project will eliminate these overflows. Affected streets are portions of Liberty, Jefferson, Plum, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, Main at 3rd/4th, W. Riverside Dr., McConnel and Maple
Alley Paving.
The Village will be repaving 13 alleys this summer.
River Walking Path.
The Village will begin installing the first phase of a River walking path from the Roundabout to Eagles Park.
Kennebec Sidewalk.
The Village will be installing a new sidewalk on N. Kennebec adjacent to the retaining wall on the hill.
The Village asks for your patience and will work with residents and businesses to maintain access.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Jennifer Ponchak, Village Administrator at jponchak@vomcc.com or 740-962-3163.
