The Buckeye Institute: Competition Will Save Taxpayer Dollars as Ohio Replacing Aging Water & Sewer Lines
The Buckeye Institute released its latest policy brief, Competition Saves Taxpayer Money on Water and Sewer Line Repair, looking at the importance of open bidding for water and sewer lines. Ohio has aging water and sewer systems that are constantly in need of repair and many need to be replaced. Unfortunately, some localities are limiting competition by requiring the pipes be made of a more expensive material, when it would be in taxpayer’s interest to consider all materials that are deemed safe.
