The Northwestern Water and Sewer District delivers water and sewer services to over 20,000 customers in Wood, Henry, Sandusky, and Hancock counties. Although many of its projects are performed underground, utility work can impact water and sewer service in addition to roads throughout the service area.
Effective Monday through April 8, crews will be in Perrysburg Township in the Crandenbrook, Willowbend and Carrington Woods subdivisions, and along West River Road for valve maintenance. This work involves turning valves on waterlines, which can occasionally cause water to become discolored. Residents are advised to flush their taps if this occurs. Valve maintenance work will continue in various locations throughout the District through December.
