· County Sanitary Engineer, Ziad Musallam, to discuss:
1.Northeast Fulton County Water System

2. State Route 108 Waterline Replacement Project

3. Ohio EPA Sewer Plants Inspection Reports

Village of Metamora has entered into water service agreement for the Northeast Fulton County Water System. Also authorized funding for preliminary engineering up to $125,000.00 for half of the estimated cost.


State Route 108 Waterline Replacement Project has been having issues and watermain breaks. The line is cast iron. The pipe needs replaced on the westside of the road. This is a two mile project, starting at 20A north to Rd. J. The cost est. is $950,000.00. Possible funding sources are CDBG, Federal stimulus funds, EPA, OPWC, OWDA. Ohio EPA has expressed interest in the project. Income survey's went out Friday. Two week turnaround time is required. Commissioner Genter asked the odds of funding and Mr. Musallam feels that the project is lined up for funding for stimulus funds. Commissioner Genter asked about the Wauseon-Archbold connection. The project was submitted as an emergency connection only as requested by both communities. Commissioner Genter would like to see this as a regional concept, not emergency only. Mr. Musallam feels that it really stands a better chance if it is regional in nature.


Ohio EPA Sewer Plants Inspection Reports show that we missed the reporting deadline by the lab. We did the inspection, but did not file the report by the lab. Report was sent right away. All plants are acceptable by the EPA.
