Sewer Department meets with County on projects involving the K9 Adoption Center and Licking View

ZANESVILLE, Ohio- The Muskingum County Sewer Department brought to the county commissioners problems with the current drainage at the K9 adoption center and a project to connect Licking View to the county sewer system.

Coming to a decision will allow the K9 adoption center to use all the drains available to them and make their jobs just a little bit easier. 

“The commissioners wanted to talk today about some of the drain issues at the new dog pound. And we just went through a couple scenarios and they decided on one scenario on how to fix some of the drainage issues at the dog pound,” Stan Lucas, the Sewer Department Manager at the Muskingum County Sewer Department stated.

The concern with connecting Licking View to the sewer system is that if the current drainage system does not remain intact, the area could potentially become swampy.

“The county is currently in the process of the design phase of sewering Licking View. And we’re just over there right now doing a little research as far as where all the storm water pipes are over there,” Lucas stated.

Once Licking View is ready to have a sewer installed, it will then be decided whether the Falls Township or Muskingum County is going to carry out the project.
