Butler County approves water contract with Middletown
The Butler County Commission approved a water supply contract with Middletown. The county exits the Middletown area water business and Middletown takes over billing and maintenance of mains outside city limits serving Mayfield, Oneida and Amanda, about 2000 customers. The county will lose a per tap maintenance fee but retain a surcharge on the Mayfield Oneida and Amanda districts until its water district debt is cleared. Officials plan a future joint sewer project to serve East Middletown and surrounding towns.
