    PIQUA, Ohio ( WDTN ) — A proposed burning ordinance is causing plenty of debate in Piqua.

    Commissioners and the public both weighed in about the ordinance at this week’s meeting.

    Our partners at Miami Valley Today reported that the ordinance would regulate battery burning on the property owned by the city.

    Battery burning has been a point of contention between the city and residents since it was revealed a research group was burning batteries at an old water treatment plant.

    Residents have expressed concern about air quality among other things.

    The company has since stopped burning the batteries.

    At a meeting on Tuesday, commissioners approved a first reading of the ordinance. A second reading is scheduled for May 21.
