Recap of Hancock City Council Meeting

Water bills in Hancock will be a little bit more due to an increase approved by the Hancock City Council last night. The council approved a one dollar per 1,000 gallons increase which City Manager Glen Anderson says is due to an increase in the flow at the sewer treatment plants.

The city announced that it will be receiving about $25,000 from the state’s supplemental bill that was signed earlier this week to assist in snow removal. Anderson says the funds come at a very crucial time.

Also announced was the plan for the Lift Bridge rehab project which after the assignment of a contractor should begin around December 2014.
