Geauga County • August 8, 2025
Good morning, Geauga County. Did you know that a properly maintained septic system can last 20-30 years longer? That's the kind of valuable information residents can gain during national "SepticSmart" week, when Geauga Soil and Water Conservation District hosts a free educational program. This timely event helps homeowners protect both their property investments and our community's precious water resources—an underground investment that pays dividends for decades.
From the ground up to the sky above, Geauga County Airport is finally expanding after a 20-year wait, thanks to a $585,000 federal grant toward a new T-hangar. With all current spaces rented and over 40 pilots on a waitlist, the demand is clearly soaring. Meanwhile, a recycling truck fire in Moreland Hills serves as a fiery reminder about proper disposal of hazardous materials—especially those troublesome lithium-ion batteries that might be lurking in your drawers.
