KELLEYS ISLAND SANITARY IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT NOTICE ~ SEPTEMBER 9, 2024

MESSAGE FROM THE VILLAGE
K.E. McCartney & Associates (KEM) was recently selected by the Village of Kelleys Island to be the engineer for a sanitary improvements project. The Village and KEM will be providing a project update on a quarterly basis as part of our effort to keep Village residents informed regarding the status of the planning for our sanitary improvements. This newsletter will be posted on Kelleysisland.us and mailed with water bills for Island Residents.
– Mayor Ron Ehrbar

UPCOMING WORK
The first step in the planning & design process will be conducting a survey of potential service areas on the island. KEM will start the surveying process in October. You can expect to see KEM surveyors using GPS equipment, along with an aerial LiDAR drone which will be collecting imagery and X,Y,Z coordinates of data points throughout the project area. These data points and aerial imagery will then be used to produce a 3D model for the planning and design phases of the project.

 THE TELECOMMUNICATIONS
RESOLUTION COMMITTEE

Residents of Kelleys Island appreciate the wonderful technology available for wireless devices and the access to the Internet. Unfortunately, the services which we enjoy on the mainland, are not easily transferred to our Island businesses and residential homes.
                 A Committee (called the TODC – Telecommunications Oversight & Development Committee) has been established to Research, Review and Resolve some of the issues that Islanders experience. Instead of a page on the Village website, the committee has set up a separate site which is both informative and invitational. There are links for News, Forms, Partners, and additional Links. Just go to https://joewolfe183.wixsite.com/telecommunications and explore the progress they are making and share your concerns and suggestions through the Contact Us page on that site.

SIGN UP FOR VILLAGE ALERTS

The Village is working to improve its emergency notification system to keep the community informed of unexpected and emergency situations that may affect them. This will also assist the police in locating property owners when they find something wrong but the owners did not fill in a Winter Inspection Form.

For example, this list could be used in the event of a water line break where water needs to be shut off for an extended period of time, an unexpected road closure, or other situations that you might want to be aware of before your next visit to the Island. The Village will contact you by email, text, or phone call to alert you to the unexpected situation.

Erie County Notification System

This list will be used only for official Village notifications and will not be shared with anyone. We are striving to improve communications and to keep our citizens better informed (and a little less frustrated) when unexpected situations arise that will affect the quality of their Island time.
