Building both a new water tower and a PFAS removal facility is heavily based on the three outlined business options within the presentation.
Option 1
Continued IH water treatment and IH water distribution — would require both a water tower and PFAS removal facility.
Option 2
Purchase water from Greater Cincinnati Water Works (GCWW) and retain IH water distribution — would require only a water tower. Costly water plant demolition and well abandonments would be required as well.
Option 3
Purchase water and water distribution from Greater Cincinnati Water Works (GCWW) — will still require a tower. Costly water plant demolition and well abandonments would be required as well. (Option 3 was previously dismissed by Council)
