Presented By Classic Brands

Chillicothe Utilities Director, David Fishel, announced that on Monday, work will begin on two projects within the city.

The city will be painting the Fifth Street elevated water storage tank next to Ohio University-Chillicothe, which is expected to finish in 60 days, with minimal disruption to the public.

Fishel says- “The water tower will see a new logo on this water tank. The contractor will be completely removing both the interior and exterior paint on the 5th Street elevated water storage tank, and then repainting it with a three coat system. The water tank will now be white with the new City of Chillicothe logo where the current letting is.”

In a separate project, Fishel says crews will close North High Street from Chestnut to Allen Avenue, including the intersection of Mill and High. Crews will be working on road surface repairs from 8am to 4pm.

Due to the closure, Chillicothe Transit’s Route 1 High and Mill bus stop will be closed. No other bus stops or routes will be impacted.
