Water merger study
At today’s county commission meeting (last item on the agenda), commissioners will decide whether to apply for a grant to help study regionalizing water systems.
If approved by commissioners and granted by the state, the grant would be for $30,000 and require a $30,000 local match.
It would study the feasibility of merging the water systems of Butler County, Hamilton and Monroe.
Merging these first two has been discussed for a while now, but Monroe is new. County Administrator Tim Williams said the Monroe merger is a concept worth exploring, and also a required third party to get the state grant.
Do you think any of these mergers would be a good idea?

What consultant is involved with this grant? I’d bet some local politician is on the money making end of this.
