WARREN So far, Trumbull County has spent $67.2 million on sewer projects since the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency ordered the county to add sewer to certain areas, and an $49.8 million is expected to be spent on projects before 2030.
That will bring the total amount of sewer spending in the county since the original 2000 OEPA order to about $117 million. About $6.4 million is expected to be spent on projects this year, with $23.4 million expected to be spent on the projects before 2025, and $20 million before 2030.
Through 2020, 3,545 residences and businesses have been served by the projects, and by 2030, 5,242 residences and businesses will have been served, according to the Trumbull County Sanitary Engineer’s Office.
