$1 Million State Grant for Water and Sewer Lines
All six city projects nominated for Ohio EPA wastewater loans made the agency's 2026 funding list. Four are in design or engineering; construction activity is expected at the Portage Mercer Pump Station. Nominations reserve a spot for loan money without obligating the city to borrow.
Poe/Mercer pump station odor control
Four screens at the pump station are worn out and need replacing at an estimated $4 million, funded through a state low-interest loan. Recent improvements have already eased the odor problems neighbors noticed.
