County Commissioner Opens Bids For Water Project

Zanesville, OH- The Muskingum County Commissioners Office opened up bids for a Norfield and Arch Hill road water line extension project. 

The lines would also run along Lodge Road, Murphy Hill Road, Carr Road, and Knipe Road. There were three potential bids ranging from $2.2 million down to $1.5 million.

The lines would range in size from 6 inches along Norfield Road and then branch off to 4 inches on Murphy and Knipe Roads. Forker said there would be a quick timeline on this project.
