Purpose & Explanation
The County of Summit Department of Sanitary Sewer Services has been working with the Village of Peninsula, and the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (OEPA) to install a new sanitary sewer system within the Village of Peninsula, Ohio over the past 2 years. The County has been under an OEPA Order to provide sewer system improvements to the Village as part of the Northeast Ohio Four County Regional Planning and Development Organization (NEFCO) 208 Plan. This is a regional plan of all the sewer systems within the NEFCO area and this issue in Peninsula has been an ongoing issue in the region for multiple years.
As part of this sewer work, the County and the Village are interested in having waterlines installed along all easements and rights-of-way in the Village as described in the attached report. The County asked the City of Hudson if they could study the potential of an extension of our water system to the Village at no cost to the City. The City of Hudson agreed in an earlier discussion on 9/7/21 with the City Council to have this study performed.
Following the discussion on the information in the report and a Q & A, the City Staff will discuss with Council the next steps in this process.
