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 new water tower, new PFAS removal facility, and require lead and copper rule compliance.
Option 2
Purchase water from Greater Cincinnati Water Works (GCWW) and retain IH water distribution — would require water plant demolition, well abandonment, new water tower, and lead and copper rule compliance. Will not require a new PFAS removal facility.
Option 3
Purchase water and water distribution from Greater Cincinnati Water Works (GCWW) — would require water plant demolition, well abandonment, lead and copper rule compliance and may still require a new water tower. Will not require a new PFAS removal facility. (Option 3 was previously dismissed by Council)
