Trumbull County raises water, sewer rates

CORTLAND — Trumbull County commissioners have increased the water and sewer rates charged to about 20,000 county customers.

The increases in sewer rates and sewer tap-in fees were approved unanimously, but Commissioner Daniel E. Polivka voted against increasing the water rates or water tap-in fees at their meeting today.

Polivka said he has been discussing with Warren officials the possibility of decreasing the price the city charges the county for treated wholesale water that is distributed by the county system.

The county receives its water from Warren, Aqua Ohio Inc. and indirectly from the Mahoning Valley Sanitary District through Youngstown and Niles.
