South Main Street and North Dixie Highway's water and sewer projects are "99 percent complete," according to Jamie Mehaffie, village administrator.
He announced that in his report to Bluffton council on June 25. He added that property owners will soon receive notice that their sanitary sewer is ready to be tapped into.
"We will work with the Allen County Health Department on coordinating inspections as properties abandon their existing septic systems and connect to the sanitary sewer's main line," he said.
