By Monty Siekerman
The Ream Street storm sewer project is nearly halfway complete. This photo shows work being carried out at the intersection of Simon and Lehr.

Another project, paving a portion of Eric Wolber Avenue, will begin March 13.

A portion of the far east side of the village occasionally would flood during a deluge. Thus, a storm sewer project is being undertaken to remedy the situation.

A small, old, clay tile is being replaced with a large 36-inch tile placed 12 feet deep.

Zee Contractors, Holland, Ohio, is doing the work for $347,000 with 80 percent paid by the state.

The Village received five bids for the swimming pool project, all under the engineer's estimate of $1.4 million. Council members may decide which bidder was successful when they meet on March 21.

Work is slated to begin Sept. 5, which is after the upcoming season. Completion is set for April of next year.

Renovations include a new filtration system, new concrete around the pool, the renovation of the bathhouse, the addition of a splash pool, and a new concession stand. The pool itself will be unchanged

the voluntary program can do so for as little as a $20 contribution.
The funding provides important technical resources, training, and
legislative support on key criminal justice issues.
