Hanoverton sewers
HANOVERTON --Village council approved seeking a low-interest loan from the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency to help pay for a proposed sanitary sewer system.
Mayor Dan Kibler said the loan will be for $10,000 with a 1 percent interest rate for 10 years. The loan will be used for the preliminary engineering study being conducted by MS Consultants of Youngstown.
The EPA has proposed the sewer as a way to end pollution caused by failing septic systems in the Hanoverton and Kensington areas. The county will pick up half of the cost, because it is responsible for the unincorporated regions that would be served by the sewer.
The EPA has ordered Hanoverton and Kensington to address the pollution problem.
