Water system reports May bills and readings for Pierce Union Batavia
Harlan Mace, manager of the Pierce Union Batavia water system, told Clermont County commissioners that May bills totaled 14952.52 and collections reached 14558.91.

The panel refused three contract cancellations, allowed one, and cited the risk to financial solvency if customers break the $7 minimum monthly rate. One cancellation was approved due to a distant service line issue at Mildred Mitchell.
