Vandalia City Manager Al House told the City Council on Aug. 17 that the city will apply to the Ohio Public Works Commission for funding to replace water mains, fire hydrants and residential service connections on Marcelus, Dales, Ner, Paula and Pas streets, followed by roadway milling and resurfacing.
