Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of the Department of Public Utilities to modify the existing water and sewer service agreements in the Rickenbacker/Lockbourne Service Area with the City of Columbus, Franklin County Ohio, and the Village of Lockbourne.
A new Economic Development Agreement (EDA) between the City of Columbus and the Village of Lockbourne is being entered into to include additional acres within the Rickenbacker/Lockbourne Service Area. As a result of this new EDA, existing water and sanitary sewer service agreements between the City of Columbus, Franklin County, Ohio and the Village of Lockbourne, Ohio must be modified to include the additional service area and to establish conditions and requirements for the provision of water and sanitary sewer service.
