Summit County Council has taken significant steps to enhance local infrastructure and promote environmental awareness during their recent meeting on September 15, 2025.

The council approved a crucial construction contract with Kenmore Construction Co. Inc. for the replacement of Pump Station Number 6, located in Hudson and Stowe. This project, valued at $6,761,800, aims to improve the sanitary sewer services in the area. The resolution was passed unanimously, highlighting the council's commitment to maintaining and upgrading essential public utilities.

In addition to infrastructure improvements, the council declared the week of October 2025 as Stormwater Awareness Week in Summit County. This initiative, supported by the Summit County Engineer's Office, aims to educate the community about the impacts of stormwater runoff on local infrastructure and the environment. Heidi Swindell from the Engineer's Office emphasized the importance of recognizing stormwater as both a challenge and an opportunity for community engagement. The week will serve as a platform for residents and businesses to learn about responsible practices, such as maintaining clear storm drains and advocating for sustainable development.

These resolutions reflect the council's proactive approach to addressing both immediate infrastructure needs and long-term environmental sustainability. As Summit County continues to grow, these initiatives will play a vital role in ensuring a healthier and more resilient community for all residents.
