Adam Kehoe has had his hands full working out the bugs in the new treatment plant. Some equipment manufactured is not preforming properly. This is currently being corrected piece by piece.
Utility Department - Water
Employees are trying to finish the installation of the radio read meters. The process is being slowed down because of the inability to get into some of the residences.
Jim Welsh has been working hard to keep the 1930’s era water plant working. Along with that primary duty he is also responsible for the distribution system.
Currently the utility department is preparing for a water tower to be installed near Teays Valley East Middle School. This will give residents in the north part of the village and create more storage.
Ashville has also requested RFP’s for the construction of a new water plant at the current location of the old plant. This change will give us more water capacity and make good well water softer and better tasting. Also, better for fire protection for our homes and businesses.
We have already drilled a second well in our well field and should be set for years to come.
