The City of Delaware and Ohio Wesleyan is planning to reinstall the debris-catching storm net into the Delaware Run on Thursday, March 17 (weather and water level permitting). To install the net, a few parking spaces will be reserved with cones in the Edgar Hall parking lot. The disruption will be kept as minimal as possible.
The original 4-foot-high, 18.5-foot-wide, concrete-weighted storm net was installed by crane in fall 2019. The net is used to capture trash and green debris (organic waste such as lawn clippings and leaves) to help improve local waterways. Read more about the original installation.
