Construction on the project begins July 6.
About a dozen Belmar residents attended a meeting with Avon Lake Municipal Utilities (ALMU) officials at the Avon Lake Public Library June 1 for a presentation of the Belmar Boulevard water main replacement project. ALMU representatives said aging from corrosion, frost, thermal stresses, erosion, truck loading and damage from excavation has taken its toll on the infrastructure. The 80-year-old main has had 31 breaks since it was installed in the early 1930s. Six of the last breaks have occurred in 2011. Engineering Services Manager Jack Gaydar estimated the project’s cost at $466,850. "Property owners will not be assessed for connecting to the new water main,” Gaydar said. “Funding for the project will be made available entirely from water…
$900,000 project would link 5 roads, alleviating traffic to Troy and decrease safety response time.
A new plan born from the need to separate sewers on Belmar Road could mean two ends of Canterbury Road could connect by September of 2011.
