Richmond Heights outlines Trebisky transmission main renewal; completion expected June 2026 amid early delays
Summary
City Engineer Justin Haselton told the council the Trebisky transmission main project will rehabilitate a 48-inch concrete main by sliplining and open-cut to a 42-inch steel main between Highland Road and Monticello Boulevard; contractor delays and water shutdown coordination have slowed early progress, and residents will be notified if water service is interrupted.
City Engineer Justin Haselton updated the Richmond Heights City Council on Jan. 13 about the Highland–Trebisky transmission main renewal and a separate sanitary sewer improvements project.
Haselton said the water-main project will rehabilitate an existing 48-inch concrete transmission main, using a combination of sliplining and open-cut methods to convert the line to a 42-inch steel main. The work covers Trebisky Road from Highland Road to Monticello Boulevard; Fabrizi Trucking & Paving Co., Inc. is the contractor and the project is scheduled for completion in June 2026.
Haselton reported the project is off to a slower start than anticipated while the contractor addresses construction issues with the county water department, including coordinating a complete water shutdown. He said the contractor has been in contact with Waste Management to minimize service disruptions such as trash pickup. Haselton told a resident who asked about possible shutoffs that if any water will be cut off, residents should be notified.
Haselton also said a sanitary sewer improvements project is kicking off this week, with construction tentatively planned to begin in late January or early February. Council President Bobby Jordan asked when traffic-control cones at Richmond and Monticello would be removed; Service Director Ryan Tiedman said he expected the cones to be gone in about two weeks.
The engineer's update emphasized coordination with utilities and contractors to limit resident disruptions; the council did not take formal action on these projects during the meeting.
