Water service to Lucy Lane will temporarily be shut off, between 8:30 AM and 5:00 PM, on Wednesday, April 8th and Thursday, April 9th. Water service will still be available during the evening of both days. This is being done to allow for the connection of the new fire line on Natalie. Residents with questions may contact Rick, at Grade Line, Inc., at 440-968-3864.

We, in the Township, have received a number of inquiries regarding the Lucy Lane water service shut off, which has to be done to complete the installation of the fire water line on Natalie. While, we recognize, the timing is not ideal, particularly given the current COVID-19 crisis we are all dealing with, this project has a very tight timeline. The water line must be installed before the Township can begin its Springwood and Natalie road reconstruction project. We received $360,000 in OPWC grant funding for the road project that has to be used by the end of July. That project could take as long as 8 weeks to complete. Do we wish the work could be done at a time that doesn’t coincide with an unanticipated pandemic? Absolutely… Nonetheless, given the sequencing of projects that need to be completed, waiting until the Stay at Home order is lifted, whenever that may ultimately be, is simply not feasible. The actual period of shut-off today was roughly 2.5 hours. Assuming things proceed as well as they have today, tomorrow’s shut-off period may be similar.
We appreciate your patience, during this difficult and unique time, as we attempt to continue making progress with vital projects that will enhance our community. Questions regarding the water line installation may be directed to Jeff Snell, Fiscal Officer for the North Hills Water District, at (216) 288-5690.
