• The Ohio EPA approved the replacement boiler Wednesday afternoon, and crews are replacing a failed water-pressure relief valve.
• Receiver Reg Martin said he expects heat to reach affected buildings between 10 and 11 p.m. Wednesday.
• Mayor Tito Brown said the city did not pay for the temporary boiler, with costs covered through the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio.
• A steam-damaged sewer has closed two blocks of Wick Avenue for repairs expected to take about two weeks.
