The contract has been signed and work has begun on the sump pump outflow line project. The contractor has started work in the 300 block of Tyne Road. Residents are reminded this project is a Beechwood Village project and not contractually associated with the larger MSD project. Resident questions regarding the sump pump outflow line project can be addressed by calling the Village line at 381-1038 or via e-mail on the Village website.
Around 4:00am on September 29th, 10-12 cars were broken into on Short Road, Fox Run Road, and Brunswick Road. These cars were parked in driveways and in some cases unlocked. All residents are reminded to remove valuables, secure your vechicles and ensure they are locked while parked in the driveway (day or night). Additionally, please do not leave your garge doors open at night.
The sanitary sewer project that has been ongoing for over a year in Beechwood Village has created a problem in a number of areas with sump pump discharges from certain homes. Standing water has caused algae growth along the curbs in the warm weather months, icing conditions in cold weather and is generally unsightly.
MSD has worked with Beechwood Village to implement certain improvements that will alleviate the standing water problem. In several weeks, work will begin in certain areas of the Village to install a 6″ outflow line 3 feet inside yards from the edge of pavement which is the grassy public right of way. The line will be approximately 2′ deep. Individual sump pump lines will be connected to the 6″ line, which in turn will be connected to the existing storm water catch basins.

Our trash collection service provider indicates the recycling participation in Beechwood Village is only 25-30% of all residents. The City Council considers this level of participation rather poor and urges all residents to upgrade home trash programs to include recycling. Our environment and community need your participation. Residents can contact Rumpke at 502-568-3800 to obtain a recycling bin and make billing arrangements. Bins with a top are available.

MSD personnel are revisiting all properties in the Village and preparing official checklists for work performed and to be completed. The Beechwood Village City Council urges all residents to participate with MSD on the walk-throughs by contacting Bob Hudock of MSD at 377.4088.
