Ansonia council hears water-tower, lead-pipe checks and EPA inspection plans
Summary
Council heard updates on the Water Tower Project, plans for pot-holing to check for lead pipe on E. High and E. Weller, and that an EPA potable-water inspection is scheduled to begin at the end of July. Park and paving schedules and cybersecurity training were also noted.
The Village of Ansonia council on June 2 received several updates on local water infrastructure and related public-works work, including a planned lead‑pipe survey and a scheduled EPA inspection of the village’s potable water system.
The Village Administrator told the council that the Water Tower Project is moving forward: an emblem for the tower was shown and painting on the old tower is expected to begin in the fall. The administrator also said the village is continuing work to replace air relief valves and that the Whistle Stop patio project is due to begin around June 15.
Council members were told that Arcadis Engineering will perform pot‑holing to locate and identify any lead service lines, concentrating on E. High and E. Weller streets, and that the village has registered staff with the Ohio Plan to take cybersecurity training. The administrator added that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency will begin an inspection of the village’s potable-water system at the end of July.
The update also included other public‑works notes: Ohio Department of Transportation plans to resurface Route 47 (date not yet determined), and Darke County’s Tour de Darke bicycle event will route through Ansonia on Aug. 2. The council received the report for review but took no formal action on the water items at the meeting.
Council members and staff said the pot‑holing and EPA inspection are steps to better document infrastructure condition and regulatory compliance; no cost estimates or final timelines for remediation were provided at the meeting. The council is expected to track findings from Arcadis and the EPA in future updates.
