"This Long-term, collaborative agreement maintains quality, consistency and stability for our customers, said Debbie Lieberman, Montgomery County Commission president.
Dayton Mayor Nan Whaley said the agreement will establish a foundation for the long-term sustainability of the region's water resources.
"I consider this to be a true win for all of the citizens in Dayton and Montgomery County both now and for decades to come," Whaley said.
The city of Dayton wells provide more than 250,000 Montgomery County residents with drinking water. Montgomery County Environmental Services purchase water from the city and distributes the water to about 80,000 of those customers in about 1,400 miles of water mains.
Water rates climbed 14 percent this year for customers who get their water through Montgomery County and will go up another 5.6 percent each year through 2022.
