Sell the Cincinnati Water Works?
The Greater Cincinnati Water Works has been a municipally owned and operated utility since it was purchased by the City of Cincinnati in 1839. We believe the future mission of this city owned organization whose revenues are over 90 million dollars year is to be sold.It provides about 136 million gallons of water a day through 3,000 miles of water mains to most of Hamilton County and parts of Butler and Warren Counties in Ohio, and to Boone County in Kentucky.
The net profits should go to housing in the city, supporting business development, public saftey and health along with improving public infrastructure so that it is the residents of the city who it will be helping first.
After that we like the rest of the region will share in the cost of the water we drink.
Cincinnati Change thinks it is worth $400M and will hire an engineer to find out.
