Township Responds To City Water Rate Increase
IRONWOOD - A request for a zoning variance at the Pub and
Grub was denied by the Township Board of Trustees. At
Monday’s meeting the board unanimously declined to rezone
the local eatery for adult entertainment establishment
usage. HMMMM.
Due to the 9% water rate increase
inflicted by the Ironwood City Manager Scott Erickson, the
water rates charged to Township water customers require an
adjustment to keep up with the city’s immoral rate
structure. The Township held off passing along the increase
until now, when the revenue shortage is $24,000.
