Full text of Ohio Ohio Revised Code § 6115.61, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 6115.61.
To pay a portion of the amount of an assessment or annual levy of a sanitary district
organized for the purpose of water supply, against any political subdivision, or to
pay charges for water, which charges are to be deposited into the bond fund, the legislative
or other taxing authority of such political subdivision may appropriate any unappropriated
funds of the water department of such political subdivision. When funds of the water department are appropriated under this section, they shall
be set aside and shall be disbursed for such purpose exclusively in the same manner
as other funds of the water department are disbursed. Such use of funds of the water works of a municipal corporation shall be in addition
to the use permitted by sections 715.08 , 743.04 , 743.05 , and 735.29 of the Revised Code . For the purpose of producing sufficient revenue to provide for such payment of assessments
or annual levies of a district, in addition to the other expenses and obligations
of the water department, or to pay charges for water, which charges are to be deposited
into the bond fund, the officers of such political subdivision having authority to
establish rates for water furnished by such political subdivision may establish such
rates as are necessary, and when so established sections 743.04 and 735.29 of the Revised Code shall apply in the assessment and collection of such rates. After an annual levy upon a political subdivision has been certified to the county
auditor by the board of directors of the sanitary district, the auditor shall thereupon
give written notification thereof to the fiscal officer of such political subdivision. Following such notification and prior to the certification by the county budget
commission of its action upon the budget of such political subdivision for the ensuing
year, the fiscal officer of such political subdivision shall pay to the county treasurer
the amount previously so appropriated for payment of all or a portion of such annual
levy. Any treasurer shall receive such payment, shall properly credit it against the amount
due on such annual levy, and shall report such payment to the auditor who shall report
it to the county budget commission for its guidance in acting upon the budget of the
political subdivision. Any remaining portion of such annual levy not so paid shall become due from such
political subdivision and shall be collected by the treasurer at the same time that
the state and county taxes are due and collected.
