• Gas line review pauses part of Orange Village, Solon waterline project for at least a week (cleveland.com) — Part of the Miles Road waterline project in Orange Village is on hold for at least a week while Enbridge reviews gas lines after three recent strikes, including one that triggered a shelter-in-place advisory. Work continues west of Brainard Road, and officials say the overall schedule and public safety remain stable as crews re-mark and verify underground utilities. 
• To be blunt, driver admits he ‘literally' just smoked one: Orange Police Blotter (cleveland.com) — Recent police stops in Orange involved a driver who admitted to smoking marijuana just before being pulled over on Orange Place, an out-of-state motorist driving without a license, and a passenger arrested on a warrant. Officers also seized packaged marijuana, found an open beer can during a traffic stop, and issued several citations and warnings while giving courtesy rides within the area.
• Home explosions are raising alarming questions. What's happening under Northeast Ohio's streets? (cleveland.com) — A recent gas line strike in Orange Village, along with two house explosions elsewhere in Northeast Ohio, is raising concerns about aging underground utilities and the limits of the 811 “Call Before You Dig” system. Podcast hosts highlight how multiple Orange Village gas line hits during a waterline project show the risks of incomplete maps as construction surges across the region.
