Bluffton’s water main project is moving along on schedule. Jamie Mehaffie, village administrator, told Bluffton council members on Sept. 10 that pressure tests are taking place today on the Grove Street line. After the tests are complete a work crew (separate crew from the crew laying pipes) will switch over the new line to residences on the street.
Meanwhile the pipe laying has moved on to Jackson Street. Mehaffie anticipates that Lawn Avenue will take place next.
Are you confused about the electrical aggregation program? You are not alone.
Bluffton’s voters passed the governmental aggregation issue on the March 2012 primary ballot. The village has elected to join the government electrical aggregation program managed by the County Commissioners Association of Ohio and officially named the Allen County Commissioners as the aggregators on behalf of the Village of Bluffton in order to do so.
