Kirk Road in Austintown, Ohio was named after him.Īlthough, many water sources had been considered, including Lake Erie, it was decided to build a Mineral Ridge (Weathersfield Township),Ohio Dam on Meander Creek to create the reservoir with a purification plant.
The district bought its first piece of land in 1927 from Josiah Kirkpatrick, who changed his name to Kirk. It settled on Youngstown and Niles as the two members of the future Water District in 1925. It was hoped that all the Mahoning Valley communities would unite, but there were too many obstacles.
In 1920, a petitioning effort began in the Mahoning Valley, an area consisting of cities such as Youngstown and Niles, Ohio for the formation of Water district. The Meander Creek Reservoir is owned by the Mahoning Valley Sanitary District MVSD and is the largest provider of clean and safe drinking water of Mahoning and Trumbull County Ohio.
