Bids for the Water Main Replacement were received and opened with C.J. Hughes as the successful bidder. Our Engineers are currently reviewing and checking all aspects of this bid for accuracy and we expect to award this project the first part of April.

Our Pickleball Court Project has been awarded to Ohio Netting & Fence. Depending on the weather, we are hopeful that construction will begin in the very near future with completion of the courts by the middle to late summer.

With the summer months and hot weather right around the corner we would like to speak about our Swimming Pool. We have already started the clean-up process of the pool and its facilities to get it ready for opening day!!! The new filter system is in place and the contractor will be here the first of May to make sure everything is running as it should! We are currently accepting applications for Lifeguards, as well as Admissions and Concession workers. It’s been a long three (3) years without our pool and we hope everyone will come and enjoy it again!

A contractor for the Riverfront Project has been named and we are currently awaiting Detailed Design Plans for the project. The permitting process is also underway and we hope to get a construction schedule in the very near future so we can anticipate our summer scheduling.

Welcome to the City of Gallipolis, Ohio, Web Site

Gallipolis (pronounced Gal ′ – a – po – lees ′ ) is a beautiful, small city located on the Ohio River in southeastern Ohio. The name derives from the Latin – “Galli” for Gaul or France and the Greek “polis” for city. It is familiarly known as “The City of the Gauls” and The Old French Settlement.” Settled in 1790 by men and women from France – the group popularly known as the French 500 – it has a rich historical background, much of which has been preserved in the Our House Museum. — Gallia County Historical Society

The City of Gallipolis is located on the Ohio River in Gallia County. Gallipolis lies 40 miles up river from Huntington, West Virginia, 58 miles northwest of Charleston, West Virginia, 50 miles west of Marietta, 109 miles southeast of Columbus, and 156 miles east of Cincinnati.

Gallipolis Fire Chief, Keith Elliott, announced today the addition of a new Fire / Rescue truck to their fleet.

Chief Elliott announced on Tuesday, “the Gallipolis Fire Department just received a brand new, 2025 Ford F550 Alexis Mini-Pumper Rescue Truck”. Chief Elliott went on to say “Many Thanks to our City Commissioners, Commission President Mike Fulks, Vice-President Dr. William Thomas, Matt Johnson, Mike Brown and William “Bill” Jenkins; Former Commissioner, William Frazee; City Manager John Westfall; City Auditor Shelly Clonch and especially to our late City Manager, Dow Saunders, who was instrumental in spearheading our 2025 fire truck purchases.

A very special THANK YOU to the Great Citizens of Gallipolis, who faithfully support the Gallipolis Fire Department. We were only able to purchase this truck through the generosity of our citizens who supported and VOTED for the Gallipolis Fire Department's Fire Levy.

This delivery is the first of two new fire trucks scheduled to be delivered the department this year. This mini-pumper will replace our current rescue truck. The second delivery, scheduled for later this year, is for a new Freightliner, Alexis Fire Engine.

Our old rescue truck had been a recovered, stolen 2003 Ford truck, with over 100,000 miles. That truck was recovered by the Sheriff’s Office, and purchased from the County for $1.00. It received an overhaul, a new paint job and has been in service, responding to rescue calls since around 2013.

Our new rescue truck holds 300 gallons of water, 10 gallons of foam, has a full size 1500gpm fire pump, fire hose, as well as state-of- the-art rescue equipment. It can also double as a fire engine should the need arise.

The purchase of this new Rescue truck helps the Gallipolis Fire Department maintain our ISO fire rating of 4. This rating directly affects the cost of homeowner’s insurance for our citizens. A lower rating means a lower insurance rate for our residents. Fire departments are scored on a rating from 1 (being the best) to a 10 (having no fire protection). Due to the hard work of your fire department, we recently lowered our ISO rating from a 5 to a 4.

“Gallipolis is so blessed”, Chief Elliott said, “We have a great City Manager and City Commission that appreciates and understands the importance of having a modern, state of the art fire department and a community that truly supports the fire department and her efforts to save lives and property.”
