Residents and council members pressed the city about sewer infrastructure, a planned sewer trunk-line project and representation on Mid Ohio during the meeting.

Tommy Boyd described attending a Mid Ohio meeting and warned that rising costs and decaying infrastructure require prompt action. He said some residents were unable to flush toilet paper and urged the council to accelerate a trunk-line project the city previously approved funding for. "We have people in this city that have such poor sewage suction or ability that they aren't even able to flush toilet paper right now," Boyd said, tying citizen reports to the need for the project.

Boyd also questioned why a named county representative had continued involvement with Mid Ohio after what he described as mismanagement of the city’s water and sewer services. In response, the mayor clarified that "Steve Leilaniuk is not the City of London's representative on Mid Ohio," and stated the city’s official representatives to Mid Ohio are Tia Farris Sexton and Mark Landis. The mayor further noted that if a single house were unable to flush toilet paper it was often a lateral (the pipe from the house to the street) issue rather than a system-wide problem, and said he had not received reports to the city about the specific issue Boyd raised.

Council members noted that the city has approved multi-million-dollar water and sewer projects in recent years; one council member referenced projects starting in 2023 and November 2023 and a previously approved $13,500,000 project to address trunk-line needs. Several speakers urged continued oversight and follow-up with Mid Ohio and project contractors as planning and easement work proceeds.

Provenance: sewer condition complaints and Mid Ohio representation discussion appear in Tommy Boyd’s public comment and the mayor’s subsequent city-official report and clarifying remarks.
