The Wilsons have been living in their Fairborn home for more than 20 years. They decided to make a change after a summer drought and a high water bill.

Donna Wilson says, “One summer our water bill was $125 with trash, but that’s still a lot.”

Donna and her husband, Andrew, decided a rain barrel would be ideal to capture rainwater from the roof to water their vegetable garden.

They have one large barrel they purchased from a local hardware store and four other 55 gallon drums they received after attending a rain barrel workshop through Greene County and the City of Fairborn.

The fate of two Troy men who went missing on an Ohio River canoe trip has renewed attention on water safety as the warm weather recreation season begins.

The search for the two missing men had agencies in Ohio and Kentucky searching the river and riverbanks Monday. The search, underway since Sunday, involved two ODNR watercraft law enforcement boats, an Ohio State Highway Patrol helicopter and a Brown County Emergency Response Team as well as relatives and friends of the two men.

Vectren has begun replacing gas mains and service lines throughout western Ohio as part of a multi-year program.

The company says it plans to replace about 725 miles of pipeline in more than 40 cities. In 2014, Vectren expects to work on about 57 miles of pipes in Arcanum, Bellefontaine, Covington, Dayton, Fairborn, Greenfield, Greenville, Kettering, Miamisburg, Oakwood, Piqua, Sidney, Tipp City, Troy and Xenia. It will be a $35 million investment.

“To ensure the continued reliability of our natural gas pipeline systems and service, Vectren has undertaken a program to replace essentially all of our bare steel and cast iron pipeline infrastructure in our Ohio service territory,” said Colleen Ryan, president of Vectren Energy Delivery of Ohio. “These infrastructure enhancements are vital to meeting federal requirements and ensuring the continued safety of our system for decades to come.”
