Request for Public Comment: Flow Diversion Structure

Avon Lake Regional Water intends to create a flow diversion structure for Avon Lake Regional Water to reduce the possibility of a sanitary sewer overflow into Lake Erie. We will be requesting $500,000 from the Ohio Water Pollution Control Loan Fund (WPCLF) for this project. This project will be paid for with revenues collected by wastewater fees.

Ohio EPA will administer loan preparation.  Construction will be undertaken by contractors selected by competitive bidding. Construction is intended to take place in 2020.  Avon Lake Regional Water would receive a 0%-interest loan.
