Ohio Code § 6119.111

§ 6119.111.

A regional water and sewer district may acquire by purchase, whenever it considers

such purchase expedient, any land, property, rights-of-way, franchises, easements,

and other interests in lands as it considers are necessary or convenient for the construction

and operation of any water resource project, upon such terms and at such price as

it considers reasonable and can be agreed upon between the district and the owner

thereof, and take title thereto in the name of the district. All political subdivisions may lease, lend, grant, convey or otherwise make available

to a regional water and sewer district at its request, upon such terms as the proper

authorities of such political subdivisions consider reasonable and fair, without the

necessity for an advertisement, auction, order of court, or other action or formality,

other than the regular and formal action of the political subdivision concerned, any

real property or interests therein including improvements thereto or thereon or personal

property which is necessary or convenient to the effectuation of the authorized purposes

of the district, including public roads and other real property or interests therein

together with improvements thereto or thereon or personal property already devoted

to public use.
