LEIPSIC — Leipsic and Gilboa have jointly applied for a U.S. Department of Commerce, Economic Development Administration grant for the purpose of providing a supplementary source of raw water to the Yellow Creek Reservoir by building an intake station on the Blanchard River and connecting it to the reservoir. In 2007, Leipsic expanded a small reservoir once used for steam engine locomotives and installed a pumping station designed to take surface water from local ditches, said Justin Barnhart, Leipsic village administrator.
