The Village of Wintersville Council meeting on April 17, 2025, highlighted critical infrastructure updates, including a significant roof replacement and a new water line project. The council announced that roof work would commence in the coming weeks, with a maintenance agreement in place to ensure ongoing inspections and repairs.

In addition to the roof, crack sealing on Main Street is set to begin shortly, addressing road maintenance needs. The council also discussed plumbing repairs for public bathrooms, which suffered damage from a recent cold snap.

A notable point of discussion was the proposed $88,000 water line project, which aims to enhance fire safety by installing a new line and hydrant near the fire department. The council debated financing options, ultimately favoring a three-year bank loan that would keep costs manageable while allowing for early repayment.

As the meeting concluded, the council emphasized the importance of these projects for community safety and infrastructure resilience, with plans to finalize financing details in an upcoming finance meeting.
