On Tuesday, December 7, Mechanicsburg was notified that we were awarded $955,520 of the Ohio Builds Water Infrastructure Grant. This grant will help the Village with the replacement of aging water lines. The Village is seeking more financial assistance through OPWC program to implement Phase ll of water line replacement program. Phase l Water Line replacement was completed in 2018. Phase ll of the water line replacement program would replace water mains, service connections, fire hydrants and water meters on Walnut, North Main, West Race, and Sandusky Streets. This will serve approximately 140 residences directly and the remainder of the Village providing better water flow through the system. We are grateful to have received the grant and thank the State for their investment in our community.

NOTICE BOIL ADVISORY FOR:
East Sandusky from Pleasant to Locust, and Willow Street. 
If your door has been tagged.
January 14, 2021
 
There was a water main break on East Sandusky St. This required us to shut the water lines down until the repair could be made from intersection of Pleasant Street and E Sandusky. When this occurs the EPA requires the Village to issue a BOIL ADVISORY for your area and for your safety. 
 
We are testing the water and when it is safe we will lift the advisory.  We expect the advisory to be lifted for these customers by Saturday afternoon.  Until the advisory is lifted please boil the water for 5 minutes and let it cool before drinking or brushing your teeth or use bottled water for these type activities as a precautionary measure. Water may be used to wash dishes, shower  etc. Run water until it clears to do laundry.  
 
Sorry for any inconvenience.
Thank you.

"The state of Ohio will allocate $50 million from the Coronavirus Relief Fund from the CARES Act to 47 Community Action Agencies to help Ohioans that have experienced economic hardship as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Each Community Action Agency will receive a portion of the funding based on their Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) CARES Act allocation.

Ohioans who are behind on rent, mortgage, and water and/or sewer utility bills may be able to receive assistance. Assistance can be applied to outstanding rent, mortgage, water, and/or sewer bills back to April 1, 2020. Ohioans can receive monthly assistance until the program ends on December 30, 2020.

For utility bills that include more than the water or sewer services, assistance can be provided to maintain service or prevent shut off only. The Community Action Agencies will make direct payments on behalf of the applicant to the landlord, bank, or water and/or sewer company. A household can receive assistance in more than one category."
