The Village of Owaneco donated a Bench for Trail Users next to the WWII Memorial. LPTC Volunteers arranged for the Bench to be engraved and it was installed yesterday.

Thank you to the Village Board for your support! And to the LPTC Volunteers, Brian & Steve for making arrangements and installing the Bench.

Restoration work from the water line replacement throughout the village is scheduled to begin on Monday, June 1. Mason Bryant Construction will be in the village completing this work. We ask that village residents monitor their properties and let us know if there is anything that is not done to your satisfaction as we plan to do a walk through with the engineers and contractor when the work is complete and will notate anything additional that needs done per your notes so we are sure to get it addressed.

Additional work will be done by a second contractor on Church and Cochran Streets. Funding for these repairs is being worked on at this time and we will keep you updated.

We appreciate the patience of villagers as we have worked through this process and look forward to having this project completed! Have a great day- let us know if you have any additional questions or concerns. Thank you!

Good afternoon, village residents! The Village Board and Administration has been working with EJ Water, Milano & Grunloh Engineers, and Bryant Construction to finish up our water project in Owaneco. We wanted to thank everyone for their patience as we work to get the restoration portion of the project completed (ditches and drainage restored, ground leveled and seeded in ditches and around the new meters, meters at grade as they should be, sidewalks repaired, etc.)

The "mounds" are still wet from the rain, so the plan to complete the work this week has been delayed. Additionally, there is a 75% chance of rain on Friday and again on Monday. We will need to have 5-7 days of no rain so everything can dry out and then an additional few days beyond that for the contractor to complete his work.

We appreciate all of the responses we received with concerns. We have addressed each and everyone of them with the parties involved. We will do another post with the date that the contractor is scheduled to be in town once we see a long enough window with out rain as described above. Thanks again for your patience and cooperation!
