Tunnels, trucks and tools
What does it take to maintain 330 miles of sewers across more than 60 communities? A lot of trucks and a lot of teamwork. Today, you'll hear from the crews who work underground and the techs who keep their trucks (and a whole lot more) rolling every day.
You'll also hear from our engineering team about one of the largest infrastructure projects in Northeast Ohio you may never see: Project Clean Lake, digging sewer tunnels deep underground and making improvements on the surface to protect the future of Lake Erie. |
