Mahoning commissioners to seek bids for Canfield water tank, several paving projects

YOUNGSTOWN

The Mahoning County commissioners voted to advertise for bids for installation of a 500,000-gallon elevated water supply tank and a water supply-line extension linked to it in Canfield Township.

On Thursday, they also voted to advertise for bids for concrete pavement rehabilitation on Meridian Road; the First Street paving project in Lowellville; and the Jefferson Street repaving project in Campbell.

The water tank will be on a 0.9-acre site the county purchased last year for $105,000 on Raccoon Road, just south of U.S. Route 224 near the northbound state Route 11 exit ramp.

The long-awaited tank, which will go into service late next year, will increase water pressure and improve fire safety for a heavily developed area along U.S. Route 224 between Raccoon and Tippecanoe roads.
