YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio - Youngstown and Aqua Ohio have finalized a contract for the sale of up to two-million gallons of water daily to Aqua Ohio.

The contract includes a non-compete clause for water sales, which puts an end to plans by Austintown, Boardman and Canfield to purchase bulk water from Aqua.

Austintown Administrator Michael Dockry calls the deal disappointing.

"We're also disappointed in this day in age of everybody talking about regional cooperation for something like this to occur that to me is anti- regional cooperation", Dockry said. 

Dockry added that ABC Water District will continue to explore other possible sources for water.
