Long-Term Control Plan
Tipton Street repaving is substantially complete as of late November 2025 following installation of a new sewer interceptor. Crews have finished the final surface asphalt on all sections west of Jefferson Street and east of Byron Street.
A quick reminder of why this matters: Huntington’s century-old sewer system was originally designed to overflow into local waterways during heavy rains to prevent backups. Today, state and federal mandates require communities to eliminate these overflows to stop untreated sewage from entering rivers and streams. The LTCP is our plan to meet those standards and protect local water quality.
