Mount Billiet prepares for final inspection with new fire hydrant installation

The Morrow County Commissioners Meeting held on April 9, 2025, focused on critical updates regarding local infrastructure and safety measures. The session began with the announcement of a scheduled test on the sprinkler system, conducted by the state fire marshal alongside the local fire department. This test is a significant step toward completing the main portion of a building project, with hopes of achieving occupancy by the end of April or early May.

Additionally, the meeting addressed the progress of a secondary building, identified as a cool storage facility, which is under a separate permit and will not be completed by the end of the month. However, the timeline for occupancy remains optimistic, contingent on the successful completion of the sprinkler system test.

The discussion also highlighted the installation of a new water line by the village of Mount Billiet. A fire hydrant is planned for the east side of the road, which is essential for public safety and will be integrated into the village's utility system. The installation is set to begin the following Monday, with completion expected by the end of next week. This addition is crucial for meeting safety regulations and will be part of a final walkthrough to ensure all safety measures are in place.

Overall, the meeting underscored the county's commitment to enhancing public safety and infrastructure, with key projects progressing toward completion in the coming weeks.
