Oberlin may raise water rates for tank repairs
Oberlin may need to raise water rates to fund a 700000 project to repair the citys 1937 water tank and add a possible second tank. A three month repair period could require valve adjustments to maintain pressure and prevent a system collapse during a major fire. A second tank is urged to handle growth and pressure, with PUCO study pending next month and financing via mortgage revenue bonds.
