CALDWELL, Ohio (AVC News) — Construction is underway on an eight-inch waterline along State Route 285 in Sarahsville as part of the Noble County Water Authority’s East of I-77 Waterline Extension Project.
Robert Bond, president of the Noble County Water Authority, recently updated the Noble County Commissioners on the work being completed by T.A.M. Construction.
The SR 285 line begins near the intersection with State Route 146 and will extend north alongside SR 285 toward the county line.
The work is part of Phase 4-B of the project, which also includes a waterline along SR 146 toward Pleasant City and another along Old Infirmary Road.
Once completed, the three extensions will provide access to county water for 68 homes that previously did not have service.
Commissioners also received an update from Dawn Gutberlet of Noble County Extension Economic Development on how the county’s recently awarded $750,000 Neighborhood Revitalization Grant will be used in Summerfield.
The grant will fund sidewalk and culvert infrastructure replacements, ADA-compliant access points at the village community center and installation of a swing set at Farley Park.
Gutberlet said Noble County was one of nine counties selected to receive a Neighborhood Revitalization Grant from 18 applicants.
An environmental review is expected to begin soon, followed by the bidding process and awarding of contracts. Construction is scheduled to begin in 2027 and could continue through 2028.
The project must be completed by Aug. 31, 2028.
