Lucas County approves Washington Township stormwater agreement, multiple utility acceptances and $3.278M WERF contract
Summary
The Lucas County Board of Commissioners on the record approved a joint cooperation agreement with the Board of Washington Township Trustees and accepted multiple sanitary and water-line dedications, and approved multi-year solid-waste contracts and a $3,278,000 WERF construction contract.
The Lucas County Board of Commissioners on the record approved a joint cooperation agreement with the Board of Washington Township Trustees to allocate stormwater utility funds for calendar years 2026 through 2031 and accepted multiple sanitary sewer and water-line dedications and contracts from the sanitary engineer and solid waste management district.
The county engineer, Mike Punisky, described the stormwater agreement as directing approximately $2,900 of the township—s annual stormwater allocation toward assessments related to the 10 Mile Creek Ditch petition. Commissioners voted in favor on a roll call after a motion to approve.
Sanitary engineer Nate Incrot presented a package of acceptances for sanitary sewers and water-supply lines in Montclover Township, Sylvania Township and the villages identified in the agenda (items 2 through 6). Under the solid-waste and water resource recovery facility items, the board approved a five-year, $90,000 agreement with the University of Toledo to support county waste-reduction and audit work and a five-year, $150,000 agreement with KTOCB for the district—s education component.
The board also awarded a construction contract to Peterson Construction for the Westinfluence Screening Grit Chamber improvement project at the water resource recovery facility in the amount of $3,278,000.
All actions in this package were moved and approved on voice/roll-call votes recorded in the meeting minutes as affirmative by the commissioners present.
Why it matters: The sanitary and solid-waste acceptances clarify county maintenance responsibility for sewer and water infrastructure in the named plats and townships, while the multi-year educational and audit agreements fund ongoing waste-reduction work. The Peterson Construction award represents a county capital expenditure for WERF improvements that will be funded and scheduled under the facility—s capital program.
