Hearing Held in Civil Suit Over Gas Line Damage Between East Ohio Gas and Hohenbrink Construction

A conference hearing was held this week in Hardin County Common Pleas Court in a case involving a civil suit filed by a gas utility company.

East Ohio Gas, doing business as Enbridge Gas Ohio, filed a lawsuit last year against Hohenbrink Construction of Findlay accusing them of negligence for striking the utility’s gas lines in separate incidents.

The first was said to have occurred on September 8, 2021 in Ottawa, and the second was on December 8, 2022 at 435 East Columbus Street in Kenton.

In both cases, East Ohio claims the gas lines were accurately marked by a locating services company.

East Ohio is requesting total judgement in the amount of just over $5100 plus interest, court costs and any other relief the Court deems just and equitable.

Another hearing in the case was scheduled for April 16.
