Water sales could make the city a lot of $$.

Would be easier if hose people would move to where there was water instead.

Why would cash strapped City Hall waste money and manpower to open a 20 year old waterline that is not needed?
When will this maddness end in this city?]]> Thu, 26 Mar 2015 15:40:21 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6054&PID=45244&title=reactivating-water-line#45244 Reactivating water line? : Why would City Hall suddenly decide... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6054&PID=45243&title=reactivating-water-line#45243 Author: Vivian Moon

Why would City Hall suddenly decide to activate a 20 year old water pipeline, that is not needed by Madison Twp,  when City Hall can't take care of the ones in the current city area? 
Something about this deal smells as bad as all the others. You can bet there is much more to this story.

Speaking of Gov. Brown and California, I bet the pot farm proposed would bring in more money than the water idea. Gov. Jerry was very familiar with the pot culture in the 60's and would, no doubt, welcome it. And a state like Cal. would be ripe pickins for supplying city money from a pot pipeline. Somehow, the city leaders have to tie into the pot farm here to grab some of the profits. ]]> Thu, 26 Mar 2015 14:22:40 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6054&PID=45241&title=reactivating-water-line#45241 Reactivating water line? : Good one fact guyMaybe it will... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6054&PID=45239&title=reactivating-water-line#45239 Author: spiderjohn

Ridiculous.

What an in-efficient logistics idea. A DC-3 is an antiquated aircraft with very minimal capacity to haul water out to California. Very small (and slow) transport. Round trip in a DC-3 will take a lot of time. The fuel costs and wear on the aircraft would be cost prohibitive. If this idea is seriously being considered, wouldn't an aircraft with a much larger capacity be more efficient? Say a military tanker size like a C-141 or C5? I doubt very seriously that there is much profit in this as the city claims.

What I can't believe is that the country has an oil pipeline across country but no one, to my knowledge, has ever suggested a water pipeline from coast to coast-east to west with branch lines to all states north and south of the main east-west source. Take that flood water from the east and pump it out to the drought areas out west filling the reservoirs that are low.

This idea just sounds wrong out of the gate. ]]> Thu, 26 Mar 2015 11:16:05 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6054&PID=45237&title=reactivating-water-line#45237 Reactivating water line? : With the seriousness of severe... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6054&PID=45236&title=reactivating-water-line#45236 Author: Factguy

"Bulk water sales"?One reason that bulk water sales would be considered is if a fracking site was established in the immediate area. Tell me that is not being considered here!

Council considers reactivating water line

By Ed Richter

Staff Writer

MIDDLETOWN — 

    Plans are in the works to reactivate anabandoned water main under the Great Miami River to be used as aninterconnection between the city of Middletownand the Southwest Regional Water District.

    Middletown City Council will considergiving the green light to reactivating the 12-inch line at its April 7 meeting.The interconnection main between both water systems would be used as anemergency back-up water supply as well as creating the opportunity for bulkwater sales. Council gave the proposed legislation a first reading at its March17 meeting.

    A staff report by Scott Tadych, city publicworks and utilities director, said Middletownhad provided water to some areas of Madison Twp. prior to 1997. The entitiesrecently tested the main and found that it appeared to be in good workingcondition and are now seeking to reactivate it for emergency or disaster needs.

    The city and water district would share inany maintenance and repair costs to the interconnection main. The onlyfinancial impact to the city would be dependent on the need to buy or sellwater, he said.

    The cost of accepting any emergency wateris $1.07 per 100 cubic feet for both parties. The agreement allows the waterdistrict may purchase water at the same rate for regular use. However, the cityreserves the right to limit the amount of water it makes available for sale tothe water district.

    Tadych said at this time, the waterdistrict has no immediate desire to purchase water from the city.

    Middletownis also interconnected with several other water supply system including Warren Countyand Monroe,however, no formal interconnection agreements exist.
