MIAMI TOWNSHIP, Ohio — A large water main break has shut down a stretch of State Route 131 between Miami Meadows Park and Hilltop Way, near the Stonelick Township line, Miami Township Fire & EMS said Thursday.
The department urged drivers to use an alternate route and to give repair crews room to work. Miami Meadows Park and Linda Way remained accessible from the west side of the closure, while Hilltop Way and the Parkview community could still be reached from the east, according to the department’s notice.
State Route 131 is a state-maintained east-west corridor through Miami Township, running past Miami Meadows Park, a roughly 200-acre township park with ball fields, a skate park, trails and a fishing lake. Because the road is owned by the state, repairs fall under the Ohio Department of Transportation’s jurisdiction even though the break itself is a county water line issue.
The fire department pointed drivers to ODOT’s Cincinnati District 8 for real-time conditions through the OHGO app and website, and to the Clermont County government’s Water Resources Department for updates on the break itself. The county’s Water Resources Department operates the public water and sewer systems serving Miami Township and much of the rest of Clermont County.
Miami Township Fire & EMS said the closure area may change as repair crews continue work at the site.
