The ABC Water and Stormwater District offers a Sanitary Back-flow Assistance Program for Boardman Township residents. The program is a supplemental program based on the Mahoning County Sanitary Engineers Program.
      Currently and since 2019, the Mahoning County Sanitary Engineering Department offers up to $3,600 for a backflow device which also requires property owners to remove any clear water source (footer drains and downspouts) from the sanitary sewer lines. The program is for property owners serviced by the Mahoning County Sanitary Engineer.
      Any resident of Boardman Township who has already received funding from the County Program can submit documentation proving funding was obtained from the county, and upon review of the stormwater district can receive an additional $1,500. This would extend to anyone who as previously put in a backflow control device from 2021. The program was initially funded with $50,000 and checks will be issued on a first-come, first-serve basis.
      Residents can stop into the Boardman Township Government Center at 8299 Market St. during regular business hours with a copy of documentation from the Mahoning County Sanitary Engineer’s Office and complete a one page form. Once confirmed the District will contact residents to pick up a check to receive $1,500.
