Committee approves up to $30,000 for water‑line separations at Saint Leo Place condominiums
Summary
The Budget & Finance Committee approved an ordinance authorizing Greater Cincinnati Water Works to spend up to $30,000 to separate shared water service lines serving condominiums on Saint Leo Place so that each unit can be billed and shut off individually.
The Cincinnati City Council Budget & Finance Committee authorized the Greater Cincinnati Water Works to spend up to $30,000 from existing Water Works funds to separate shared water service lines serving condominiums on Saint Leo Place, a measure proponents said will improve billing accuracy and public‑health response.
City administration staff described the ordinance as an authorization to use existing Water Works funds for the work and to declare the expenditure a public purpose. "This authorization of expenditure would allow Waterworks to separate those water service lines, so that each condo has its own individual water line, which will aid with billing," an administration presenter said on the record.
Committee members moved the ordinance for passage during the meeting; no detailed vote tally or individual votes were recorded in the transcript. The committee advanced the ordinance as presented.
Why it matters: Separating shared water lines is intended to let Water Works shut off service or address individual unit issues without affecting the entire building and to simplify billing for condominium units. The ordinance uses existing Water Works funds; the transcript does not specify which accounts or whether residents will bear any direct cost.
Ending: The committee moved the ordinance for passage; the transcript records the item as moved forward with no additional public discussion recorded.
