STREET STUDY – Pavement Condition Rating Report
Street Study
The Village Engineer completed a pavement condition rating report covering all village streets. The report is on the Village website and residents can review the condition of streets and see the current cost to repave the streets and the funding sources available. Little Dry Run has the lowest pavement condition rating. An application was made to the Municipal Road Fund (MRF) Program for funding and the Village is awaiting a decision on its application. The MRF Program is generated from the sale of license plates/tags within the corporate limits of municipalities within Hamilton County. The Village also will likely apply for funding from the Ohio Public Works Commission. If funding becomes available, repaving of Little Dry Run would likely occur in 2025.

There are 3 facilities in Newtown that can contribute to asphalt odors: Barrett Paving, Brewer Coat, and Valley Asphalt. Barrett and Valley are both asphalt plans that have active air permits with Ohio EPA. Newtown Fill is a construction and demolition landfill that also has permits for its operations.

The Southwest Ohio Air Quality Agency has a complaint hotline to receive complaints such as odor, dust, or general air quality concerns. You can register a complaint by calling 513-946-7777. Resident can also register a complaint online at https://www.
Air Sampling in Newtown:
In response to odor complaints and concerns presented by the Village of Newtown, the Southwest Ohio Air Quality Agency, in cooperation with the Ohio EPA Division of Air Pollution Control, conducted specialized monitoring in Newtown and Anderson Township.

ELECTRIC AGGREGATION PROGRAM
Village of Newtown Electric Aggregation Program
The Village’s electric aggregation program with Dynegy expired on the December 2022 Duke bill. Energy Alliances, the Village’s aggregation consultant, negotiated with multiple suppliers and was able to lock in a rate of 6.45¢ per kWh with Energy Harbor starting with the June 2023 bill and continuing through the May 2025 bill (24 bill periods).
The 6.45¢ per kWh may sound high. However, based on how Duke uses an auction process to set their generation supply rates, Energy Alliances anticipates that Duke’s default generation rate will be around 9.5¢ per kWh starting with the June 2023 bill.
A rate of 6.45¢ per kWh for the aggregation would save participants around 30% compared to taking Duke’s default supply rate.
The aggregation will have no termination fees with participants able to leave at any time without paying a fee.
You DO NOT need to do anything to participate in the aggregation program.
If you DO NOT want to participate in the aggregation program, you need to opt-out! Opt-out letters will be mailed in the second half of March. You must opt-out by April 12, 2023 and this can be done by mail, phone or the web.
If you have any questions regarding the aggregation program, you can reach out to Energy Alliances at 513.794.555.
