Environment - "Angola City Council approves Univertical cleanup agreement"

The ILB has had a long list of entries on this issue. Today Jim Measel of WTHD 105.5 (NE Indiana) reports:

ANGOLA - The Angola City Council approved a 19-page agreement between the city and Univertical on Monday night which will cover the environmental clean-up work at the former Dana-Weatherhead site.

Attorney Melina Kennedy from the law firm of Baker and Daniels said the agreement includes an eight year commintment for Univertical to stay in Angola. It also releases Univertical from any further liability.

Univertical has agreen to contribute $1 million towards contamination remediation plan.

To help pay for the clean up and improvements to the city's sewer system, the Council passed an ordinance on third reading which increase monthly sewer rates for the average residential user by $2.88.

Local Option Income Tax money is being used by the city to help pay for the increase in the rates.

Ratepayers will probably see the increase in their October bills.
