Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to amend the existing Sewer Service Agreement with the Village of Groveport.
An existing Sewer Service Agreement between the City of Columbus and the Village of Groveport is being amended to add a requirement that when the terms of the Water Service Agreement between the City of Columbus and the Village of Groveport is modified that the Sewer Service agreement shall be modified as well. This modification is specific to the "Old Village" area of Groveport, designated as "Area A".
This area is supplied water from the Groveport water treatment facility and billing for sewerage charges is based upon the amount of filtered water pumped into the Village of Groveport water distribution system. If and when the Village of Groveport expands their water service area, the boundaries of "Area A" may change as well. This ordinance will allow the same changes to be made to "Area A" on the Sewer Service Agreement.
FISCAL IMPACT: This legislation involves no direct cost.
