Commission Opposed County To Buck Cincy On Water
Butler County Commissioners joined Hamilton County resistance to Cincinnati's plan to build a 7 million dollar water plant along the Miami River. They urged conserving county resources, noting the plant could draw up to 40 million gallons daily and affect nearby water systems. The group adopted a resolution to resist outside actions that could lessen Butler County's water supply. Also, commissioners approved a tentative 1962 budget of 3,335,660, with a potential cut before formal January adoption, marking about a 500,000 increase over 1961.
