Press Release from Dominion Energy Ohio: CLEVELAND, Nov. 15, 2022 -- Dominion Energy Ohio is helping customers manage their bills this winter …
The department closed the drive-thru at the customer service building on North Central Avenue on Monday morning so they can install a new automated payment kiosk in that location. Until that happens, customers will have to walk inside the customer service building to pay their utility bills. When the kiosk is installed, customers will be able to pay their bills 24 hours a day seven days a week.
The county treasurer says that as of Wednesday they had about 50-percent payment of taxes due. The last few days are always a busy time for people paying their taxes and they usually get around 90% of the taxes due paid on time. If you are finding it difficult to pay your taxes in full pay a portion and contact their office to make arrangements on the remainder.
Commissioners secured the final piece of funding for the Gomer Sewer Improvement project with a 1.2-million-dollar loan from the United States Department of Agriculture. That, along with another 2.7 million dollars of federal, state, and local dollars will fund the project at a cost of just under 4-million dollars. The project is being done due to a non-compliance complaint from the EPA concerning water quality nearly 8 years ago. Now that all the funding is in place construction can begin and it will cost property owners less than what was first expected.
The United States Treasury Department gave their final ruling on ARPA funding last Friday and commissioners are scheduling meetings to determine where that money can be used.
