Norwood council approves two OEPA loan applications to replace lead water service lines
Summary
Council authorized two safety-service director loan applications through the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency totaling roughly $800,000 to replace lead water service lines on Montgomery Road and Ralston Avenue and declared the measures emergency ordinances.
The Norwood City Council voted unanimously at a special meeting to authorize the safety service director to apply for Ohio Environmental Protection Agency loan funds to replace lead water service lines to privately held properties on two city streets.
One ordinance authorizes an OEPA loan application for approximately $400,000 to replace lead service lines on Montgomery Road from Norwood Avenue to Fenwick Avenue; a separate ordinance authorizes an application for roughly $400,000 to replace lines on Ralston Avenue from Worth Avenue to Dale Road. Both ordinances were presented as emergency measures, and council suspended the rules and passed the ordinances during the meeting.
Councilmember Braden moved to pass the Montgomery Road ordinance; Councilmember Bolling seconded. On the roll call all members present voted yes and the motion carried. The Ralston Avenue ordinance followed the same procedure; a suspension of the rules and passage carried on a unanimous roll call.
Clerk read the ordinance titles into the record and the council completed the required roll-call votes for suspension of rules and final passage. The measures direct the safety service director to pursue OEPA loan funding for the work; details about loan terms, repayment sources and exact project budgets were not specified on the meeting record and will appear in the loan application and ordinance exhibit.
Council did not record additional debate or public comment on those specific ordinances during the session.
Motion texts and outcomes are recorded in the council minutes and will be included in the ordinance files for the city.
