MARION, OH–Next week, Aqua Ohio (Aqua) will begin a project to retire 4,200 linear feet of water main serving customers along Church Street between Windsor Street and South Greenwood Street. The project is expected to be complete by the end of May.
The four-inch water main being retired is believed to have been in service for more than 130 years having been installed sometime in the 1890’s. The nearly 50 customers attached to the old main will be connected to a twelve-inch water main that spans the other side of the street.
“This project is about improving service reliability and removing a redundancy in the system,” said Aqua Ohio’s Area Manager Scott Ballenger. “The main we are removing has lasted a long time but we’ve seen the frequency of water main breaks, and resulting service interruptions, increase over the past several years and it s time to take action.”

Historically, a few very large European companies have dominated the global dredging industry. Now a new challenge to the European domination has emerged from China. A Chinese Dredging Company, namely, China Harbour Engineering Company (CHEC) has been very active in Africa and Asia.
However, it falls into a category of its own, where state support is quite apparent. There are a few other notable regional dredging companies like the National Marine Dredging Company (NMDC) of Abu Dhabi and Penta–Ocean of Japan.

With Dredging Corporation of India Ltd (DCI) facing fund crunch, the government is looking at multiple options for financing India’s first locally built high end and larger dredger with Dutch know how, including asking state-run Cochin Shipyard Ltd to extend equity support to the vessel it will construct for the Visakhapatnam-based dredging firm.
Mumbai-listed Cochin Shipyard and DCI signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) recently for constructing either a 8,000 or a 12,000 cubic metre hopper capacity trailing suction hopper dredger (TSHD) estimated to cost as much as ₹800 crore. TSHDs are used to maintain the channel of ports.
