Waterline Project 2021 – Hillcrest, Zeta & Spruce

Work is scheduled to begin on Monday July 19, 2021, on this year’s water project on the west side of Ravenna.  The water system will be replaced on all of Hillcrest Street, Zeta Street from Main Street to Spruce Avenue, and on Spruce Avenue from Zeta Street to Maplewood Street.  Water service will be maintained to customers in this area except when main line tie-ins make a shutdown necessary.  When these shutdowns are scheduled, notice will be given to the affected customers in advance of the work.  However, unforeseen underground conditions sometimes necessitate an emergency shutdown where it is not possible to give advance notice.  In such a case the repair will be made, and the water service restored as soon as possible.  Customers are encouraged to maintain a supply of water to be prepared for such possible emergencies.

The work is being done by Utility Contracting Company from Youngstown, Ohio.  The total cost will be $488,000, half of which is being provided by a grant and zero percent interest loan from the Ohio Public Works Commission.  When completed, the new fire hydrants will provide increased fire protection to this neighborhood.  Although short term disruptions will occur in water service and traffic flow in this area, the long-term benefit will be worth this investment in the City’s infrastructure.
