FROM FACEBOOK__Starting on June 15, the Village of Beaverdam will begin doing repairs at the water treatment plant that will ensure safe potable water for many years in the future. We expect these repairs to be completed within 15 to 20 days, weather permitting
We will be working on the treatment system that reduces sulfur and Iron concentrations (naturally occurring in groundwater).
It is not expected, but residents may notice a slight odor or discoloration in the water caused by the necessary repairs and improvements.
Clint Wilkins, age 14, is something of a train aficionado. He and his family tracked the Union Pacific’s No. 4014, a.k.a. Big Boy, from Continental to Bellevue, Ohio, when the steam locomotive made its way through Ohio on Saturday, June 6, as part of a coast-to-coast tour.
The No. 4014 is the world’s largest operating steam locomotive. It is making over four dozen whistle-stops of 13 to 30 minutes long.
