Similar to the court decision in the 1940’s which led to IHWW being founded to avoid annexation into Cincinnati to receive water service, GCWW still does not have responsibility to serve water outside their jurisdiction. Indian Hill’s water needs would fall behind GCWW’s number one priority, City of Cincinnati businesses and residents.
If GCWW had a water shortage, they would be able to deny water to Indian Hill. Reliability of water service is a concern with joining GCWW as IHWW would no longer have any emergency interconnection and service contract with a secondary water source. GCWW would be the sole provider with no emergency backup supply.
