There is a price increase on your waste collection fee on the monthly water bill. Single family went from $18.82 per month to $25.20 per month. The significant increase is due to AN EXPIRING 5 YEAR CONTRACT; ALTHOUGH NOW LOCKED IN FOR THE NEXT 5 YEARS.  There should have been a notice in the January and/or February bill that stated the increase was now in effect.  Please note that this fee includes curbside trash and recycling pick up, as well as weekly brush chipping service, and the fall curbside vacuum leaf pick up.

The current Community electric aggregation program expires in December 2022. The goal for Energy Alliances, the Community's energy consultant, was to find an alternative supplier able to beat Duke Energy Ohio's default generation rate of 6.38 cents per kWh before the program's expiration. After thorough analysis, Energy Alliances did not find a supplier that could compete with Duke Energy Ohio's rate and suggested to the Community that they not renew the electric aggregation program at this time.
