COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT – WATER SYSTEM UPDATE
August 2025
Since our last update in June, the Village has continued work on critical water system issues. We engaged AECOM (www.aecom.com) —a global engineering firm specializing in water infrastructure—to assist with two priorities:
- GIS (Geographic Information System) Site Analysis – Evaluating potential water storage sites across the Village, considering professionally recognized factors like proximity to residences, distance to water mains, tower height, population density, tree cover and other items. This will produce a ranked list for Council and community review.
- Miami Road Evaluation – Assessing options for continued use of our current tower site, including resiliency improvements or alternatives.
We also are working with TetraTech, our PFAS consultant, to finalize the Ohio EPA (OEPA) required PFAS Facility General Plan.
Next Steps:
- Aug. 18, 2025 Council Meeting (6:30 p.m.) – AECOM will present its initial GIS findings. Residents are welcome, and materials will be posted online afterward. Presentation Link
- Fall 2025 – We expect updates on Miami Road and the PFAS plan, possibly by the September 15th Council Meeting. We will provide presentation dates once they have been confirmed. We will share results and invite public input as with the GIS review.
Please keep in mind that these findings are for Council’s consideration only, and do not represent an actual choice of location. Rather, they are one more step in developing the information necessary to properly evaluate critical water issues for the Village.
Your feedback remains essential as we work toward safe, reliable, and affordable water consistent with the best interests and traditions of our Community.
Sincerely,
Dina C. Minneci
