Aqua Ohio released a statement saying that they will replace 1,300 linear feet of water main along North Washington Street in Tiffin. It will start at the intersection of North Washington, Hudson and Harrison Streets and will continue to North Washington and Olive Street. 

 

The goal is to replace cast-iron pipes that are two and six inches in diameter and have been in service for over 100 years. Workers will add three new fire hydrants to improve fire fighter access, and will install five new valves in order to  make future maintenance and repairs easier to perform.

 

Crews will work in this area Monday through Friday between 7:00 am and 5:00 pm. Drivers and pedestrians need to use extreme caution while going through this area. Expect lane closures, parking restrictions, moving machinery and open trenches.

 

There will be 43 properties impacted with water service interruptions as they are connected to the new main at the conclusion of the project. The company will notify customers before the interruptions.
