Aqua Ohio, Inc. (Aqua) today announced that its unprecedented $23
million infrastructure investment program was a success.
Aqua’s capital spending across Ohio operating divisions included:
-
$5.1 million throughout its Lakeshore/Ashtabula operating divisions,
which include portions of Lake, Geauga, Summit Williams; and Ashtabula
counties.
-
$6 million throughout its Stark operating division, which includes
portions of Stark, Richland and Summit counties.
-
$2.3 million throughout its Struthers/Masury operating divisions,
which include portions of Mahoning County and parts of Trumbull County.
-
$4 million throughout its Marion/Tiffin operating divisions, which
include Marion and Seneca counties.
-
$3.1 million throughout its Franklin operating division, which
includes portions of Franklin, Lawrence and Preble counties.
“With 33 water systems across the state it is vital to continually
invest in infrastructure,” said Aqua Ohio President Edmund Kolodziej.
“These investments help assure quality and reliable water delivery from
the plants to the tap and I’m proud to say that next year we’re
accelerating our replacement of old infrastructure and spending nearly
$30 million.”
This year’s investment program represents a continued commitment of
infrastructure investment. The 2012 capital program, included $19
million in similar improvements throughout the state and next year the
company plans to spend $29.8 million. These investments are notable as
many communities are balancing budgets by postponing this kind of
maintenance and needed upgrades.
Aqua serves approximately 450,000 residents in 16 counties throughout
the state of Ohio. Visit www.aquaamerica.com
