Construction is underway on Lorain Road for a $1 million water main line for the city of North Ridgeville.
The right lane heading east on Lorain Road between Bliss Parkway and the intersection at Cook Road will be blocked off as the new main is being built.
“It’s an improvement that was necessitated by an agreement we had with Avon Lake Regional Water to remove the taps to the businesses on Lorain Road from their 30-inch water main transmission line,” Assistant City Engineer Christina Eavenson said.
The new main will extend a 12-inch water main off of Avon Lake Regional Water’s 30-inch transmission line and it will connect to the existing 12-inch water main across Cook Road.
The city hired Fechko Excavating Co. of Medina to do the work.
Local businesses were previously tapped into the transmission line, Mayor Kevin Corcoran said, but there’s always a danger when tapping a transmission line. You can possibly interrupt the flow of water in that line.
“So it wasn't affecting the businesses,” he said. “It had the potential that it could affect the delivery of water miles and miles away.”
The project is scheduled to be completed by Sept. 1.
