2025 Ohio Public Works Project Application
The 2025 OPWC Application was submitted and accepted as a top submittal for Crawford County in OPWC Round 39 Funding. Awards should be announced around late July if the Crestline projects will be awarded.
The following projects have been identified in the application cycle:
This project is a comprehensive infrastructure improvement effort focusing on three key components:
Lead Service Line Replacement
Replace outdated lead service lines with modern, lead-free alternatives to ensure safe and compliant drinking water systems. This component is aligned with federal regulations on lead service line removal and improves public health for affected households. Approximately 24 service lines will be replaced, targeting the Clink Boulevard area offshoot from Main Street. ($6,583.33 per replacement = $158,000.00)
Sewer Lining Rehabilitation
Rehabilitate aging sewer lines on offshoot streets through Cured-in-Place Pipe (CIPP) lining. This will extend the service life of the sewer system, reduce inflow and infiltration, and lower operational and maintenance costs. The project will cover 748 feet of 8-inch sewer lines located on the offshoot street section of Clink Boulevard surrounding Main Street, ensuring minimal disruption to surrounding infrastructure and services. This would also reinstate the laterals for all 24 properties. ($50.00 per linear foot + all other associated costs = $63,300.00)
Street Resurfacing
Resurface streets that have been impacted by lead service line replacement and sewer rehabilitation efforts, improving traffic flow, safety, and long-term durability. This phase includes 117,390 square feet of street resurfacing along West Main Street in Crestline. The area covers the western corporation limits near Westgate Avenue to the intersection at State Route 61 and 181 at Thoman Street. ($1.50 per square foot at 117,390 square feet of area = $176,595.00)
PROJECTED COST ESTIMATED AT: $ 437,685.00
We know this will create an inconvenience for many of our residents in the area(s) during the project(s). We thank you for your patience while we work to improve the streets in your neighborhood.
Parks & Recreation Splash Pad Project
The Village of Crestline is investing in its future in the Parks and Recreation areas. Plans for the 2024 year are to design and build a splash pad in the vicinity of the swimming pool area. The pool has been neglected for a number of years and is not able to be fixed for the amount of grant funding the village has received. We have been authorized by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources to change directions and utilize those monies for a splash pad that will begin construction in early 2024!
Beginning on March 1st, the Village began removing many of the items from the swimming pool operations to make way for the splash pad to be installed. Over the next couple of months there will be activity at the site hauling in dirt, packing the ground to level out the area, removing the slide, pumps, and lines that are no longer needed and prepare the area for the splash pad installation for operation in 2024! This does unfortunately mean that the swimming pool will be permanently closed.
The total project is estimated to cost $ 405,000.00. The Village of Crestline will use the ODNR Grant that was originally scoped for the swimming pool in the amount of $ 343,000.00 towards the splash pad project, leaving the villages investment at $ 62,000.00. Once the splash pad is complete the Parks and Recreation Committee will hold a Grand Opening for the venue which will feature an inclusive design for all children regardless of their needs.
The Village of Crestline is dedicated to ensuring that our Parks and Recreation facilities are inclusive of all parties. We will also feature LED lighting for small light shows. The Splash Pad will be FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC during a set number of hours to be discussed by the committee in the near future.
Updated Completion Date: April 2025
