Old village water plant will soon be only a memory
The lone piece of the village water plant building on Triplett Drive just north of Steinmetz Field will soon be history. Jamie Mehaffie, village administrator, will report to Bluffton council on Monday that the building will be removed.
In his council report, Mehaffie says the village has already removed the clear well and aeration structure on that site. The building removal is in conjunction wih the Bluffton schools construction project at Steinmetz Field.
That item will be reported to council during its Monday meeting. One other item to be announced is that village employees will begin flushing hydrants next week. For the complete council agenda, open the attachment at the bottom of this story.
