Several area organizations worked together to make repairs last week to the culvert leading from SR564 into the parking lot of the Thorla-McKee well site, which collapsed following heavy rains.

The repairs were a cooperative effort between Noble County Engineer Todd Coss’s office, the Noble County Commissioners and ODOT, under the direction of Brian Carter, Noble County ODOT manager. Caldwell Redi-Mix provided concrete for the project.
