According
to the City of Oakwood's survey of 67 southwest Ohio communitie's
water and sewer costs:
Wilmington,
as a result of the recent rate increase, has moved from being the
10th
highest to the the 3rd
highest in water rates.
Our
combined sewer-water rate position has moved from 16th to 4th
highest.
A
partial explanation of the water cost is the fact that the city is
contractually obligated to
pay the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR)
over $380,000 per year for raw water even
though
only
a small portion is actually pumped
from Caesar’s Creek reservoir to
the water treatment plant.
The millions of gallons of system leakage per year does not help matters.
