Water and Sewer

Buckeye Hills was, and remains, committed to ensuring that each and every resident in the 8-county district has access to public water and sewer service. Buckeye Hills assisted many entities in the District in obtaining funding for water and sewer projects throughout the 1980s.

As part of our efforts to provide access to public water and sewer service in the eight-county district, Buckeye Hills contracted with the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (OEPA) to assist in regional water quality management and planning. Our initial contract was for staff support and development of the Hocking River Basin Policy Advisory Committee. We were also involved in assisting neighboring districts and the OEPA in reactivating policy advisory committees for the Center Ohio River Tributaries, Scioto River Basin, Muskingum River Basin, and Southeast Ohio Tributaries area.

Examples of such projects include: water system improvements for the City of Logan in Hocking County, water system extension for Little Hocking in Washington County, and water system improvements for the Village of Caldwell in Noble County. Buckeye Hills also assisted Monroe County in securing funding for a $4 million water treatment plant to serve a major industrial complex.

Tri-County Water Project

Buckeye Hills assisted the Washington County Commissioners in applying for CDBG Water and Sewer Grant on behalf of Tri-County Water and Sewer District. The project will extend water lines into Adams and Watertown Townships creating a safe water supply to the residents. The cost of this project was $631,640. The project involves 12.4 miles of water line and services approximately 47 homes. The service area is made up of County roads 60 and 4. This project will promote a positive community growth, which is needed to attract residents and businesses to the area. This project was completed in 2004. This project will result in 47 homes being served with 12. 4 miles of waterline.

Belle Valley Water Tank

Buckeye Hills assisted in the administration of CDBG Water and Sewer Program funds to assist the Noble County Commissioners in financing the replacement of a water storage tank. The existing 100,000-gallon concrete stave tank is in a severely dilapidated condition, and is in imminent danger of failing. This tank will be replaced by a 100,000-gallon glass-lined steel ground storage tank that will serve 585 residents in Noble County. The total cost was $120,506. Ohio Great Lakes RCAP funds were also used in financing this project. This project was completed in the summer of 2004.

Chesterhill Water Project

Development assisted the Village of Chesterhill by administering the CDBG and ARC funds for the Chesterhill Water Project. A new water tank is in place and operational, providing water to the residents of the Village of Chesterhill. Twenty-six thousand linear feet of water and sewer facilities will benefit two hundred and twenty individuals.
