Milford Considers Water Rate Hike to Fund System Upgrades
Milford officials discuss a potential 25 percent water rate increase to finance extensions and repairs of the village water system. The plan includes adding mains on Riverside and Gatch Avenues and Main Street, fixing the standpipe, and a new smokestack at the pumping station at an estimated cost of 20000 dollars. Financing would come from revenue bonds backed by higher rates, as the current operation barely covers expenses. Contingent supply options include drawing from the Hamilton County System or forming a Milford joint system pending court decisions this year.
