Buckeye Lake Sewer Rehab Project 2022-2023

This project will perform a complete rehabilitation of all gravity main sewer lines and manholes in the Village Buckeye Lake/Licking Township area of the Buckeye Lake Sewer District. These lines were installed in the 1950’s and have reached their end of useful life. Resident should see some construction activity begin in May or June of 2022. Most all of the work will be completed in the Road Right of Way so private property will not be affected. However, some roads will more than likely be closed or brought down to single lanes of traffic once this project is in full swing. Thank you for cooperation and patience as this project is completed as this project is critical to carry raw sewage from your home to the treatment plant.
