Blueprint N. Linden – Oakland Park/Medina Lateral Lining

CIP# 650872-141003

This project will rehabilitate approximate 890 sanitary sewer service laterals in the project area via "trenchless" methods using cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) technology. The project is approximately bounded by Oakland Park Avenue on the north, Cleveland Avenue on the east, Webber road on the South and Medina Avenue on the west.

The goal of these projects is to reduce stormwater from entering the sanitary sewer system through leaky joints and cracks in lateral pipes.

Construction is expected to begin early in 2023 and complete by mid-2024.

Each impacted resident will receive written notifications from the City's contractor prior of the lateral rehabilitation. The notifications will give information on timing of the work, contact information and a request to restrict water usage for a short period (8-10 hours) while lateral is being CIPP lined.

Financing for this project is being provided through the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency's Water Pollution Control Loan Fund Program with a below market-rate loan. Prior to granting this loan, the Ohio EPA required a detailed submittal from the Division of Sewerage and Drainage to determine the project's eligibility.

The Ohio EPA has completed a Limited Environmental Review (LER) for this project. View the LER and the letter(PDF, 1MB) of "Notice of Issuance of a Final Finding of No Significant Impact to All Interested Citizens, Organizations and Government Agencies.
