JEFFERSON COUNTY, Ohio — Jefferson County Commissioners are considering a plan that would reduce the number of residents served by the county’s water service districts.
Officials say the potential change is tied to eligibility for federal funding. Grants for water line improvement projects often prioritize water districts that serve fewer than 10,000 residents.
Commissioners are reviewing the proposal as part of ongoing efforts to improve water infrastructure and increase the county’s chances of securing federal assistance for future upgrades.
No final decisions have been announced.
