Paving program to upgrade Piqua streets and alleys
DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) — A new citywide initiative will bring improvements to Piqua streets and alleys. According to the Miami Valley Today, the 2025 Pavement Program will focus on improving streets and alleys throughout Piqua, from street pavement surfacing treatments and alley resurfacing to curb ramp replacements. Alleys approved for the project have already been receiving maintenance work. The installation of new curb ramps are also in store, which will comply with the standards stated in the Americans with Disabilities Act. The ramps will be constructed from June through August at intersections and sidewalk crossings set for pavement surfacing treatments. The pavement surfacing treatments will begin in early September. Selected streets, alleys and curbs were chosen as part of the Pavement Condition Index report, which was filed by the city last year. For additional information, visit Piqua's website.

Legionnaire's disease reported in Miami Valley resident: What to know
TROY, Ohio (WDTN) — A resident of a local healthcare facility has tested positive for Legionnaire's Disease. The Troy Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center has reported one resident tested positive for Legionnaire's Disease on Feb. 24, according to our partners at the Miami Valley Today. Dayton high school goes viral after photos of bathroom gate shared on social media Troy Rehab says that resident is currently being treated for the disease. Legionnaire's is a type of pneumonia that can be caught by breathing in small water droplets containing Legionella bacteria. The disease is not spread person-to-person like the common cold. Instead, it spreads from man-made water sources like pipes or showers. This is the second case of Legionnaires at the Troy facility in just a few months. Another resident also tested positive in December of last year. Troy Rehab says they do not believe the cases are connected. 'Although the Legionella may not have originated at Troy Rehab, normal procedure in these instances is to test our water system,' said April Steinberg, Troy Rehab administrator. 'We have brought in an independent laboratory group to conduct water tests to scan for the bacteria throughout the facility. If found, we will undertake a treatment plan to disinfect the system, kill any Legionella, and prevent more from growing.' Miami County Public Health confirms they will be doing an inspection of the facility. 'A group from the Miami County Public Health will be doing an inspection, walk-through tour of the facility, look at the utilities and look for any possible problems,' Nate Bednar, MCPH director of community services, said to Miami Valley Today.
