Cleveland Akron, OH, August 7, 2026 —
Construction on a portion of the Miles Road waterline replacement project in Orange Village, Ohio, has been temporarily suspended. The halt is attributed to a need for Enbridge Gas Ohio to precisely locate underground gas lines in the project area.
The delay was initiated following several recent incidents where construction crews inadvertently struck existing gas lines. These occurrences have prompted a comprehensive review and verification process by Enbridge Gas Ohio to ensure the safety and integrity of their infrastructure before further waterline work can proceed.
Details regarding the specific timeline for the resumption of construction or the exact number of gas line strikes were not immediately available. The contractor’s name for the Miles Road waterline replacement project was also not provided.
Orange Village officials have stated that the priority is to address the underground utility conflicts to prevent potential hazards and further disruptions. The waterline replacement project is a significant infrastructure undertaking aimed at upgrading the village’s water system. The pause in work will likely impact the project’s overall schedule.
Enbridge Gas Ohio is reportedly working to map the precise routes of its pipelines to provide clearer guidance to construction teams. The outcome of this verification process will determine when work on the Miles Road waterline replacement can safely resume.
