Staff Writer Morning Journal/Stephanie Ujhelyi This is a copy of the notice posted by former East Liverpool housing inspector Bob Smith on Nov. 19 at the beginning of the theft of services investigation into a property at 746 St. Clair Ave. EAST LIVERPOOL — City police have released a report into allegations that a city councilman bypassed a water meter to gain free municipal water in one of his rental properties for the last several years. Detective Captain Darin Morgan said there was insufficient evidence regarding who installed the straight pipe — thus bypassing the disconnected meter — in his two-page report that was released Friday.
