"One of the major things I have heard from our citizens countless times was that our water rates are very hard on them," said Mayor Mary A. McDonald.
"After discussing with our staff, we came up with a plan that would help those citizens out and City Council voted unanimously to approve it."
Only citizens who obtain their water service from the city of Trotwood will receive a discount. Additionally, only residents "who have currently paid all of their water bills, and who are eligible for the State of Ohio Homestead Exemption," will receive the discount, according a Trotwood council release.
Citizens have received 19 percent in savings on their water and sewer rates with the 10 percent discount and the nine percent halt.
Residents who have questions about eligibility should call the Utilities Department at (937) 837-7771.
