Attorney Bill Pfeifer represents his client, Joseph Marshall, in Alpena’s 26th Circuit Court on Monday.
ALPENA — Attorneys representing the City of Alpena and Alpena Township held a lengthy in-chambers conference with Judge Ed Black on Monday morning, the first time a local conflict over water costs returned to Alpena’s 26th Circuit Court after being rejected by the state Supreme Court.
Monday’s hearing marked the legal battle’s return to Alpena courts after the city and township were instructed to iron out their differences themselves by the higher court last month. The Supreme Court refused to hear an appeal by the township, which was sued by the city in 2014 over the township’s refusal to pay a water rate increase.
