·         Central Sewer Update:  Residents of North Hague Avenue - as you may know, your area was defined as one of eight areas in Franklin Township that were considered "blighted" for the purposes of illicit discharge of sewage. This designation has required the County to seek grants to find money to perform the Central Sewer work. We are in the process of wrapping up the Brown Road East project and the Mon-e-bak project. Our Eureka Park area is slated to be completed in fall of 2012/spring of 2013. This will leave Hague Avenue as the last remaining project of the initial list. Steve Renner, our County Sanitary Engineer, is hoping to have engineering work complete on this project in 2015, but at this time, there is no funding available to do the work. Also understand that there will be other areas in our Township that will be considered for Central Sewer at a later date once all reports being created by Public Health have been gathered and the areas ranked. Steve Renner stated that the easiest way to get your questions answered is to follow his departmental website at: http://www.franklincountyohio.gov/commissioners/seng/water_quality_projects.cfm

·         Franklin Soil and Water Conservation District:  The Franklin Soil and Water Conservation District has provided the township helpful tips and information on upcoming events.  Go to the Road Department page to access the link to the information.
