City to renegotiate water contract with Butler County
City Commissioners will pursue renegotiation of the county water contract after citing alleged laxities by county officials in the water inspection program. The session followed a complaint by Dave Lamphier that his water had been cut off without notice, while the county reportedly piped city water to his home. The commission directed City Manager Howard Kramer to assemble facts before action, and reaffirmed that water to county residents would not be cut off if inspections show safety.
