Topics getting the most attention in Hamilton public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Butler County water supply agreement renewal
Hamilton sells most of its water to Butler County — the county is 69% of sales. The new deal runs through 2049, lowers the county's minimum purchase, and is revenue-neutral for the city while freeing up well capacity for growth.
Fairfield Township sewer connections
Four Fairfield Township properties can now hook into Hamilton's sewer system — and the landowners are paying their own way.
Water main replacements funded by 0% state loans
Council locked in zero-interest OPWC loans to replace aging water mains on Carmen Avenue and W. Sunview Drive — infrastructure work without interest costs.
Greenup Hydro emergency repair
A failed Kaplan tube forced a $175,397.65 emergency repair on Greenup Hydro unit 2; the custom-fabricated tubes were made in Wyoming and the unit is back online. Council waived the normal advertising requirement.
Forts and Heights gas service relocation grant
Council approved seeking federal PHMSA grant money to relocate gas services in the Forts and Heights neighborhood, part of ongoing infrastructure work.
