Mount Orab council approves higher out‑of‑town water tap fees
Summary
The council approved an increase to out‑of‑town tap/capacity fees to match in‑town rates after a presentation by Utility Superintendent Eric Stevens; roll-call votes were recorded as unanimous in the transcript.
Eric Stevens, Mount Orab’s utility superintendent, told the council that capacity and tap fees were increased last year and that an "out-of-town" column had been overlooked; he presented a recommendation to bring out-of-town fees in line with in-town capacity-rate increases.
Stevens described the comparison work (benchmarking nearby neighborhoods and municipal rates) and recommended the council approve the adjusted out-of-town tap fees. One council member moved to approve the out-of-town service fees; another seconded. The meeting record shows a roll-call vote recorded as yes by Zane, Zane, Carl, Eric, Anna and Nolan, and the motion carried.
Stevens invited council members to ask questions about water and sewer infrastructure upgrades and offered to meet with residents to review the upgrade work; no further changes to the fee schedule were proposed during the meeting.
