Hanover Clerk-Treasurer Keith Mefford and Council President Kenny Garrett reported at Tuesday’s city meeting that they had met with college officials earlier in the day to determine which of the two is responsible for street lights, roads and utilities like water and sewage.

The meeting is partly due to an upcoming joint sewer project that will involve the Town of Hanover and Hanover College, but there are other areas the two entities need to sort out to avoid any future confusion.

One issue Mefford said was cleared up in the latest discussion is that college officials confirmed that the “college owns the entire infrastructure of the water and sewer on the campus.”
