MONTGOMERY COUNTY — Editor’s Note: A previous version of this story provided some misinformation about the waterline replacement. We have updated this story to indicate that the quality of the water will not be affected and this is an infrastructure waterline upgrade.

Residents in one part of Montgomery County are likely to see improvements in their water infrastructure.

Montgomery County received a loan from the Ohio Water Development Authority to make the infrastructure improvements.

Around $950,000 was received for the waterline replacement. More than 3,000 feet of waterline along Spinning Road will be built to replace the aging waterlines underneath.

Locust Camp Road is another street that will have waterlines replaced but is not part of the $950,000 project.

The goal of these upgrades is to improve the water infrastructure.

The money that the county received for this project will be paid back over the course of 20 years.

Officials with Montgomery County said if you have any concerns over the quality of your drinking water, please call them at 937-781-2607 and let them know.
