City Talks Water On Double Front
Middletown pressed water talks on two fronts as Butler County officials and City leaders discussed extending water service into Madison Township on the west and a potential source for Warren County residents in the Blue Ball area. City Manager Thompson outlined a plan to extend city water across the Miami River similar to Lemon Township, with billing to customers and a park area consideration, while a separate effort to form a county water district faced opposition over assessments for Poasttown and rural properties. The meeting also approved Hillside Manor first section plat with building code conditions and dedicated Millard Drive from E Second Street.
