Explanation
This legislation authorizes the Director of the Department of Public Utilities to execute a new license agreement with Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) for the operation and maintenance of the raw water pump station and 54-inch pipeline located at the Alum Creek Reservoir.
The Division of Water (DOW) owns and operates a raw water pump station and a 54-inch pipeline located downstream, of the Alum Creek Reservoir. The property the pump station and a portion of the pipeline are on is owned by the US Army Corp of Engineers and managed by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. DOW utilizes Alum Creek Reservoir as a supplemental water supply for the HAP Cremean Water Plant and uses the Alum Creek Pump Station to transfer up to seventy (70) million gallons per day of raw water from the Alum Creek Reservoir via a 54-inch pipeline to the Hoover Reservoir.
The Alum Creek Pump Station and Underground 54-inch Water Main PKS25-020 provide supplemental water supply from Alum Creek Reservoir to the HAP Cremean Water Plant. This additional water supply is essential to ensuring the Division of Water continues to meet the needs of a growing community by delivering high quality drinking water to Columbus and surrounding communities.
This agreement was entered into by the authority of Ordinance 1663-71, passed on November 15, 1971. This agreement is set to expire October 21, 2025. This new agreement will be for an additional twenty-five (25) years, which may be renewed for one (1) additional 25-year term. The date to begin after the agreement has been signed by both parties.
