The 11th District Court of Appeals has upheld a Trumbull County magistrate's 2013 ruling against county officials that absolved 10 Mineral Ridge residents of paying the cost of sewer line extensions serving their neighborhood. In a ruling filed June 30, the appellate court unanimously agreed with the decision of Magistrate Beth Anne Aurillo, who ruled almost three years ago that property owners in Mineral Ridge and Vienna were not required to pay for sewer tap-ins because they were not properly notified of costs.
