Moon has been providing water and sewer service to the airport facilities for more than 60 years, Henry said.ĭespite its assertion that it has spent $31 million in infrastructure upgrades since 2006, Findlay is unable to provide potable water service and would have to subcontract out that service, Henry said. And it’s very clear, the airport terminal is in Findlay Township.”Īustin Henry, the solicitor for the Moon authority, called the lawsuit “ridiculous” and “bizarre.” “The legislature has made it clear that there should be one and only one provider of water and sewer service in each jurisdiction. “We simply want the county and its airport authority to comply with state law,” said Findlay authority general manager Jason Orsini in a news release. It seeks a court order requiring the county and airport authority to purchase water and sewer services for its property in Findlay from the Findlay authority.

The lawsuit, filed Tuesday in Common Pleas Court, contends that the airport authority is improperly purchasing all of its water and sewage service from Moon, even for areas of the facility that are in Findlay. The Findlay Township Municipal Authority is suing Allegheny County, the Allegheny County Airport Authority and Moon Township’s Municipal Authority over which entity gets to provide water to Pittsburgh International Airport.
