$9 million in sanitary sewer projects to kick off in Canton, Ohio this year
According to The Canton Repository, the city of Canton, Ohio has plans in motion to commence more than $9 million worth of sanitary sewer construction and repair projects in 2025.
Service Director John Highman Jr. told The Canton Repository that the sewer department, known as the Collections Systems Department, identified the projects during its Environmental Protection Agency-required inspection of city sewer lines.
The U.S. EPA's administrative order on consent from 2018 requires Canton to clean, televise and inspect its 350 miles of underground sewers on a five-year rotating basis, along with other reporting requirements. The EPA, which had been inspecting every sewer system of 10 million gallons or more, cited Canton’s system for numerous basement backups of sanitary sewage and other sanitary sewer overflows.
This year's projects will be funded by money collected from the city's monthly sewer fees paid by residential, commercial and industrial customers.
The nine Canton sewer projects set to kick off in 2025 include several sanitary sewer replacement projects, sewer rehabilitation work, and interceptor rehabilitations. The plans also include studies for future sanitary sewer projects that will begin design phase in 2025 but construction next year.
