I have lived in 15 States and China. Nowhere else in America, is water so expensive! Beware, moving to Plain City - unless you don't mind paying outrageous water/sewer/trash bills!
Plain City sets on the Big Darby Creek, which is the only free flowing body of water (no damns or other man made structures to chage flow or direction of its natural way) in the nation.
