September News
Lower Stormwater Utility Fees
The utility generates approximately $332,000 per year or $83,000 per quarter. Village code requires the funds generated be exclusively used for storm water utility purposes.
The Storm Water Advisory and the Streets, Public Utilities and Sewers Committees held meetings to consider the proposed reduction. After reviewing the major accomplishments and potential future projects, the consensus recommended to Council was to reduce the fee. Three readings of the ordinance to reduce the fee occurred and Council adopted Ordinance 2015-6 at its June meeting, which reduced residents’ storm water rate by 30% and went into effect on July 23. Residents will receive a pro-rated rate reduction on their bill beginning with the October billing cycle and the full 30% rate reduction will be reflected on their January bill from Cincinnati Water Works where the storm water utility fee is itemized. |

Back to School Safe Driving
Drivers can also use this reminder about stopping for school buses to help keep kids safe: Ohio law requires motorists approaching from either direction of a stopped school bus to stop at least 10 feet from a bus loading or unloading passengers. If a school bus is stopped on a road divided into four or more lanes, only traffic driving in the same direction as the bus must stop. The Police Department urges motorists to do their part and pay attention while driving, not only during the school year, but at all times while driving. Stay safe! |
