Town gives up territory grab HUNTERTOWN — The Huntertown Town Council has amended an ordinance to remove a provision that claimed water utility service territory in Noble and DeKalb counties. The amended ordinance reads, “The Huntertown Water Service Area is hereby defined and established as those areas within the corporate boundaries of the town and the area within four miles of outside its corporate boundaries, exclusive
of those areas which are outside of Allen County …” The ordinance as originally written included territory within a four-mile limit beyond the Allen County line, which would have extended the service area north of LaOtto into Noble County, as well as into DeKalb County. The Noble County Commissioners voted Monday to file a letter with the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission opposing
any claim by Huntertown of water utility service territory in Noble County. A similar Huntertown ordinance involving sewer utility service area already excluded areas outside Allen County as of Monday, said Noble County attorney Dennis Graft. Huntertown’s amended ordinance includes a statement declaring an emergency and making the ordinance effective immediately.

The calendar committee will analyze that information on Dec. 2. A recommendation from the committee will be brought to the school board in either December or January. No decisions have been made about the future of our calendar and will not be made until our feedback has been gathered and reviewed thoroughly.”
