Controlling water costs one employee at a time
HAMILTON — Butler County commissioners say they may pass along more than $100,000 in savings to water customers by not hiring as many summer interns.
Commissioners hired 13 summer employees Thursday, April 24, at a rate of $10.25 per hour. This is half as many as they normally hire.
“I think cutting this program probably in half with summer employment will amount to over $100,000 in savings and that goes to toward the effort to lower water rates,” said Commissioner Donald Dixon.
Commissioner Gregory Jolivette said this is the “first piece of the puzzle” in improving Butler County Environmental Services.
Next, he would like to change the agency’s name to something like “the water and sewer department,” because that’s what everyone looks for in the phone book.

Why do they have to hire any summer employees? They are not needed period. More time is wasted by permanent staff to train these kids for 3 months then they’re gone. The money could be used to save the jobs of at least two current employees.
