Lorain councilman seeks water sale from Elyria Avon Lake
Lorain councilman Mathna proposes buying drinking water from Elyria and Avon Lake to replace the city's 90-year-old plant, saving money and reducing duplicated service along the lakefront. Elyria filters about 11 million gallons daily, Lorain about 12 million of its 17 million capacity. Avon Lake plans an $8 million expansion to 27 million gallons daily. State officials may oppose routing Lorain water through other cities.

Lorain County seeks fair share of federal drug funds
Lorain County Alcohol and Drug Addiction Services Board will ask county commissioners to press the state to switch federal intravenous drug treatment funds to per capita funding. The board says Lorain would have received about $6.3 million under per capita rules, but only $61,569 this year due to the current distribution, creating a disparity with larger counties like Mahoning and Butler. If no change occurs, the board may pursue legal action.
