Council approves application to OPWC for up to $500,000 for North Market sewer separation
Summary
Council authorized the administration to apply to the Ohio Public Works Commission for up to $500,000 in grant or loan funding toward a North Market Street sewer separation project estimated at about $750,000; the project is in the city's 10‑year plan and is projected to be pursued in 2026.
Wooster City Council on Monday approved Resolution 2025‑37 authorizing the director of administration to prepare and submit an application to the Ohio Public Works Commission (OPWC) for up to $500,000 in grant or loan funding to support a sewer separation project on North Market Street.
Council heard that the North Market sewer separation project is already included in the city’s 10‑year plan and is estimated to cost about $750,000; administration representatives said the project is projected to be pursued in 2026. The resolution authorizes submitting the OPWC application and executing required contracts if the funding is awarded.
Council suspended the rules and adopted the resolution after brief discussion. Administration noted it would not hurt to submit the application as soon as possible to potentially offset project costs.
