Board of Public Affairs Meeting
June 16, 2026
President Logan Reinhart called to order the Board of Public Affairs meeting on June 16, 2026.
Board members Justin Showman and Brian Rombach responded to roll call. Water/Sewer Operator
Levi Webster was also in attendance.
Mr. Reinhart moved to approve and suspend the reading of the minutes.
Old Business
The village is currently exploring several site options for a new quarter-acre lift station required for
the Attica sewer regionalization project. Initial discussions with landowners regarding the necessary
lift station easements have yielded two rejections and one potential lead. To ensure we keep the two-
million-dollar project grant, the village must have the selected property under contract within one
year. Consequently, if an agreement cannot be reached with a property owner in time, the village will
be forced to pursue the acquisition of the land through eminent domain to avoid missing the strict
funding deadline.
New Business
The water tower recently experienced another leak, which has since been successfully repaired by a
representative from Midwest Tank Management; the tower is currently fully operational and
functioning properly. To improve emergency preparedness, Mr. Webster reported that Ohio Rural
Water will provide the village with a pressure relief valve free of charge if the water tower has a leak
that would require the village to drain the tower fully. This measure will remain in p

Levi Webster was also in attendance.
Mr. Reinhart moved to approve and suspend the reading of the minutes.
Old Business
The Village is exploring several site options for the new quarter-acre lift station that will be required
for the Attica sewer regionalization.
In preparation for draining the lagoon, the Village is exploring sludge disposal options. While it was
noted that Mr. Dunn’s land already holds the necessary EPA permits to receive sludge, the Board also
discussed alternative disposal methods. Once drained, the lagoon will be backfilled using soil located
on the north side of the property.
New Business
A resident submitted a complaint regarding discolored water with a foul taste and odor. Village staff
flushed the associated fire hydrant, but the issue persisted. It was decided that they will excavate the
utility line to investigate the cause and check for any internal obstructions.
While monitoring a sinkhole located on the north-side of town, Mr. Webster identified a backup in the
adjacent sanitary manhole. Darr’s Jetting was immediately called to clear the line, which was backed
up as far as Maple Street. The jetting was successful, and the line is operating normally.

order a new water meter and parts; Mr. Showman seconded. All voted yes, motion passed.

Old Business
The EPA-required water tests for PFAS (forever chemicals) were taken, and the results came back
negative. Another sample will be required in six to seven months; if that test also comes back
negative, Bloomville will likely be exempt from further sampling for a period of time.
Dylan Wyatt, our Village engineer has finished the construction plans for the new water tower. Mr.
Webster will meet with him at the end of the month to go over plans and proposed improvements, as
well as meet with the fire department to make sure improvements meet requirements. The water
tower project will be nominated in March to hopefully receive grant/low to no interest loans to help
offset the costs.
New Business
The EPA is reviewing the water tower's status. A more severe violation could actually help us qualify
for more funding.
There have been two water breaks. One occurred on East New Haven, where a part broke off the tap;
the other was on Maple St., involving a small break in the main line. Both issues have been resolved.
