Summary
Residents on a stretch of Girdled Road have failing wells and no public water; some homes have been abandoned. A resident pressed the board on why ARPA money funded the west end of the road but not hers, and the board agreed to refresh the 2021 study, meet with residents, and pursue grants.

Impact analysis
The 2021 study pegged the project at $1.6 million — likely over $2 million today — spread over about 23 homes based on frontage, unless grants offset costs.
The roughly 14 petitioning households on Girdled Road would gain reliable drinking and household water.
Residents would face substantial per-property assessments unless principal forgiveness or grants reduce costs; large frontage owners like the Cleveland Museum of Natural History and Lake Metroparks could be assessed tens of thousands each.
