If you've tried to use South Main Street to enter or leave Bluffton during the day, you'll discover that it's closed to traffic. The closing is due to the installation of a sanitary sewer replacement line going in.
The line ties Grove Street through the back yards of some West Kibler and some South Main properties where it enters Main near Clay Street.
Although Clay Street may be unknown to most residents, it is platted on village maps.
