Northwestern Water and Sewer District Project Updates

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Northwestern Water and Sewer District Rate Study
BOWLING GREEN, Ohio, - At The Northwestern Water and Sewer District (The District) there is nothing more important than providing our customers with safe water at a reasonable cost.
Perhaps one of the largest issues facing the water industry in the United States today is how households will continue to pay for increased costs for water and sewer systems. A national survey shows water rates increasing in 30 U.S. cities. Locally, it’s no different.
That is why The District is commissioning a formal rate study. We are currently seeking an outside, independent consultant to investigate the possibility of a customer assistance program and to look into an equal rate for all customers, including residential, multi-family, business and industrial. The rate study will also consider inflation and other potential future cost increases facing water and sewer utilities. The study will provide a ten year plan for future water and sewer rates.
According to District President Jerry Greiner, “Affordability, aging infrastructure, and increasing regulations are all challenges for any water & sewer utility; that is why we are looking at our entire rate system, to see if we can assist lower income users or help large consumers to take care of those who can’t afford the system or may be forced to lose their business.
We estimate the review of our current rate and billing structure will be complete by the fall of 2019.
###
Our goal is to be the premier water and wastewater provider in Northwestern Ohio. We are committed to sound financial management, responsible environmental stewardship, responsive public service, superior customer service, and responsible economic growth. We strive to field a skilled, respectful, and cooperative workforce dedicated to the highest professional and ethical standards; we support them with appropriate training and technology.

NOTICE: Public Meeting Cancelled for 8/16/2018
NOTICE:
The Public Meeting pertaining to a change in Code Section 1240.06, Sub-Section 169 previously scheduled for August 16, 2018 will be reset to a later date. After carefully reviewing the proposed changes to the zoning code, it was the City Attorney’s position that the language needs to be changed to comply with federal law.
The proposed zoning code change does not have any bearing on any individual property in the City of Northwood.
The City of Northwood has not received any recent requests for permits or applications to conduct business within the city that were related to the proposed zoning code language change. If we receive any such applications or requests for permits, the public is entitled and will be informed of those requests.
Thank you.

While the roadway pavement will be reconstructed this summer, by 2020, the corridor and its intersections will be improved with pedestrian connectivity elements like sidewalks, bike lanes and pedestrian countdown signals.

Suspicious Letter about a Water Pipeline
We have recently been made aware of a letter that is circulating from American Water Resources that in some cases is stating that a water pipeline is being put in and that the resident needs to go on a monthly or yearly payment plan for a contractor to be dispatched to your home to install new pipeline access. In the corner of the letter it has the BBB logo with a return address out of Illinois. This letter also reads that The City of Northwood code states that you, the homeowner, need to send a monthly/yearly payment because this will not be covered by the City.After speaking to both Northwest Water and Sewer and the Zoning Office at The City of Northwood, we believe that this letter is completely inaccurate and would just be additional coverage, but it NOT required and we want to ensure that everyone remains safe against this type of misleading information.
LET IT SNOW
Northwood Business Owners and Residents please remember snow clearing is your responsibility, so be sure to clear sidewalks in front of your businesses and homes. Businesses on main streets, this is especially important.Also, as of 5:00 a.m. The City of Northwood is under a snow emergency. Please remove vehicles from the roadway so plows can work their magic at clearing the streets! It's very slippery out and is expected to get worse throughout the day. Use caution while driving and if you do not have to go out today, please don't.

The City of Northwood will be spraying for Mosquitoes ONCE a Week for the Season
Here are some helpful tips to rid mosquitoes of their breeding grounds around your home:
Mosquitoes require water for two important life cycle stages – Hatching into Larva and Developing into pupa- so by eliminating any and all standing water greatly reduces their population. This will leave them no place to hatch their eggs, whether it is 10 or 100.
Common rainwater pooling occurs in, on or around buckets, gutters, old tires, refuse, plastic tarps, containers, birdbaths, pools, rain barrels, potted plants and similar items. Store anything capable of catching rainwater upside down to eliminate any standing water. Drill drainage holes in items that cannot be stored upside down. Clean gutters and drainage systems to stop water from pooling. Fix leaky outdoor water faucets. Treat swimming pools and keep the water circulating. Keep tarps and covers pulled tight to stop any pooling. Replace water in birdbaths 2-3 times per week. Fill in ditches with dirt. If ditches are for drainage, make sure proper fill is used for adequate drainage.

The Northwestern Water and Sewer District will be doing some waterline testing April 4th through April 7th between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. daily to investigate a water main leak in the Toledo service area.
This project requires the closing of multiple valves within the water distribution system to direct the water flow in a specific path to sense leaks within the system. In addition to closing the valves there will be significant water flushing on Oregon and Glenwood Roads.
Pressure fluctuations may occur due to this work, but will subside upon completion of the work. This activity may also cause the water within the system to discolor, but the water will be safe for consumption and will not require boiling.
If your water becomes discolored you may run the water until it becomes clear. If planning to do laundry during this period please confirm that the water is clear beforehand; otherwise, staining could occur.
If you have any questions or concern, please contact the Northwestern Water and Sewer District at 419-354-9090 Extension 2.
