Don't Let a Small Project Cause a Big Problem - Call 811 Before You Dig!
Friday, August 11 is national 811 day. 811 day serves as a good reminder of the Ohio Law requiring you to contact Ohio811 before you dig.
Whether you’re planting a tree or garden, installing a mailbox, fence, or deck, contacting OHIO811 before you dig protects your home and your family. Avoid potential injury, property damage, and protect your water, sewer, or other utility services by following the law and digging safely. It just takes a few minutes to call 800-362-2764, dial 8-1-1, or visit oups.org to request the location of underground utilities near your proposed digging site. This website will let you know what information you need to provide and how utilities like us respond to your request.
As part of 811, The District has responded to over 4,000 utility location requests so far this year. Our team collaborates with contractors and other utilities to protect our water and sewer lines. Our team responds to emergencies after-hours to keep our communities safe. Remember, you must contact Ohio 811 48-hours in advance of your projects excluding weekends and holidays. Safe digging, everyone!

Department of Development Supporting Vital Projects 
In July, Ohio Department of Development Director Lydia Mihalik (pictured right with District President Jerry Greiner) visited with local leaders at The District to discuss the impact of recent state funding. Governor Mike DeWine recently announced that The District received a $1.49 million grant through the Ohio BUILDS Water and Wastewater Infrastructure program. The funding will be used for the Henry County Regional Waterline project which will supply water from Bowling Green to the Villages of McClure and Liberty Center.
The project improves water quality, helps to provide affordable rates, and allows for future growth. "This grant not only reduces the cost of the project for the communities directly impacted by the project, it helps to keep rates lower for all District customers," according to President Jerry Greiner.
Construction on the eight-mile waterline is expected to wrap up this month.
Announcements
District Board of Trustees Meetings are held on the second and fourth Thursday of every month at 7:30 a.m.
Join us at our main office located at 12560 Middleton Pike in Bowling Green, Ohio.
Back to School Basics: Drink More Water
During back-to-school season, it's important to remember to stay hydrated. Drinking water improves overall wellness and academic success. Staying hydrated can help with concentration, strengthen the immune system, boost mental clarity, and enhance physical performance. The District and local schools encourage students to use refillable water bottles at water fountains to cut down on plastic waste. Good luck in the 2023-2024 school year!
