Hanover households will pay more for water and sewer service next year.
At its Nov. 2 meeting, Hanover council approved the town's 2027 schedule of user fees and charges. It includes a 5.7 per cent increase in water and wastewater rates.
The town says the average residential household can expect to pay about $70 more a year for water and wastewater. It says the increase is consistent with its asset management and long-term financial planning goals.
At the same meeting, council received an update on the town's development charges study and planning fee changes meant to better match the cost of processing applications. Council also confirmed residents can keep dropping off soft film plastics at the town landfill depot as the Blue Box program changes.
The Nov. 2 meeting was the last for Mayor Sue Paterson and Coun. Susan Sakal. The town said Paterson's municipal service spanned 23 years, the last 12 as mayor.
The town's council briefs have more from the meeting.
