Port Clinton pauses Waterworks Park splash pad after state health permit requirement identified
Summary
Construction of the Waterworks Park splash pad was started but halted when the Safety Service report identified a required Ohio Department of Health permit; council received additional infrastructure updates including delivery of a crane truck and school hydrant plans.
During the Safety Service report at the March 24 meeting council heard that construction had started on the splash pad at Waterworks Park but work was stopped after staff learned a permit from the Ohio Department of Health is required before further work can proceed. The report did not specify when the permit application would be filed or when construction would resume.
The Safety Service report also noted recent windstorm damage to several trees and poles with no detrimental effects reported, ongoing work on the city’s infrastructure program with capital and congressional funding requests submitted (and follow-up inquiries received), delivery of a crane truck for the sewer department, and that Port Clinton Schools are preparing the green space behind Eleventh Street for use with a hydrant to be installed and maintained by the city going forward.
The report attributed the permit pause and other operational updates to Safety Service staff; the minutes do not identify the director by name in the report segment. No public comment or further council direction on the splash pad was recorded in the minutes.
