City manager announces car show, water-service line inventory and festival grant; street work near completion
Summary
City Manager reported several upcoming public events, a door‑to‑door inventory of private water service lines with EPA involvement, a $21,000 Hamilton County grant for a food-and-music festival, and progress on local street reconstruction projects.
The city manager told the Wyoming City Council that several community events and infrastructure activities are scheduled in coming weeks, and that a door‑to‑door inventory of private water service lines will begin next week.
“The Wyoming car show returns this weekend,” the city manager said, adding: “The event will be held on Saturday, August 23 from 5 to 8 p.m. on Wyoming Avenue in the Village Green.” The manager said the show will focus on exotic and supercars, with more than 90 cars confirmed, live music by a DJ and food and drinks from local businesses; proceeds will benefit Cancer Support Community of Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky.
The manager said Wyoming staff, together with EPA experts, will visit homes with unknown private water service lines next week to identify whether residents have lead service lines and to answer questions. The transcript describes this as part of the EPA’s “get the lehi out” initiative (as spoken in the meeting transcript); the city manager characterized the effort as an inventory to help residents identify lead water pipes.
Other events announced include the Fannick Family Aquatic Center’s final day of public operation on Labor Day, Sept. 1 (pool hours noon–6 p.m.) followed by an evening “dog days of summer” event; a new series of Friday-night tailgates before Wyoming High School home football games in the Spring Valley parking lot from 5 to 7 p.m.; and the first annual Wyoming Bites and Beats food-and-music festival on Saturday, Sept. 13 from 4 to 10 p.m., featuring bands No Guarantees, Cassette Junkies and DB 8. The manager said the city received a $21,000 grant from Hamilton County to support the festival.
On public works, the manager reported that paving for phase 1 of the local street improvement project is complete; officials will apply a rejuvenator to the pavement and then high‑visibility pavement markings. Work on Riley and Pogue Farm continues and is on target for completion this fall, the manager said.
Council members responded with largely congratulatory remarks to staff and volunteers. Council member Cindy said she was “really excited about all the activities happening in Wyoming that bring the residents outside and communing together.” Council member Jody praised staff and the city-school partnership for successful school transitions. Council member Joe announced the city’s receipt of an America 250 Ohio certificate recognizing Wyoming as an official America 250 Ohio community.
Ending The announcements combine community programming and routine infrastructure work. The water-service line inventory involves EPA participation and is presented as a public‑facing door‑knocking effort; the transcript includes no additional technical details about testing, replacement timelines or costs.
