WESTVILLE – Village officials voted Tuesday to move forward with plans to repair and prevent future erosion along a drainage ditch on the north side of Moses Avenue, north of Zamberletti Park.

In March, inspectors from the Army Corps of Engineers investigated a complaint about erosion in the ditch. According to Mayor Jeff Slavik, village officials apparently authorized a cleaning and deepening of the ditch in 2002 without receiving a permit from the Army Corps of Engineers.
