Canfield public works reports water repairs, heater replacements and a complex culvert project
Summary
Public Works Superintendent reported progress on water-heater replacements ("about a 100… about a 120 left to do" in transcript), an active water-line replacement project (3–4 week phase) and repair of a major Milltown water break; the city manager described a separate box-culvert replacement that requires gas-line relocation and a multi-week production window, with anticipated completion by fall.
Public Works Superintendent John Rapp reported that the department is in the process of replacing residential water heaters and has reduced the backlog to roughly "about a 100… about a 120 left to do," while crews have begun a water-line replacement near the New Orleans/Bruce/George Campbell parking area and the Blitzer Trail that may run three to four weeks for that phase.
Rapp also said crews repaired a major water break at 406 in Milltown, working overnight and completing repairs by about 3:00 p.m. The city manager provided a broader infrastructure update on a separate culvert project, saying the replacement requires a specially engineered box culvert, gas-line relocation and has a 12–14 week production window for the culvert segment; he asked residents for patience and said completion is expected in the fall, barring unforeseen issues.
The council did not vote on these routine operational updates; they were presented for information and scheduling purposes.
