SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
The State of Ohio passed a revision to Section 6109.21 of the Revised Code in 1994 to require all municipal water treatment facilities to pay a yearly licensing fee to operate their plants.

According to the rate structure, each tap costs $0.86 for a total of $111,800. The licensing requirement started in 1994 and upon proper application is renewable each succeeding year. All fees are placed in a special account for use by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency in water related programs. The fee payment is due by December 31, 2020, which is thirty days before the expiration of the current license or 10% (ten percent) late penalties may be imposed.
