Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District

Built World

As of October 2026: Owner of the Big Creek Tunnel project

The Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District has spent 15 years digging storage tunnels to hold that flow. On October 1, contractor Granite announced the award for the program's last tunnel.
