County Sets Water Policy With Hamilton
Hamilton and Butler County officials agree on a policy for maintenance of water mains and meter reading in non city districts served by Hamilton water. The city maintains mains up to the county master meter while the county handles lines beyond it. If no master meter exists the city handles all maintenance meter reading and billing. The Hicks subdivision meter will be shifted to avoid being on the master meter and billed to the county. Until then Hamilton will read the subdivision meter and deduct totals from the county’s master meter registration.
