Howe, Sherman wastewater dispute continues
Herald Democrat
After more than a year of discussions, Howe and Sherman have made little progress in resolving a dispute over unpaid water treatment. Representatives for Sherman recently said Howe remains in debt related to sewage treatment dating back over two years.
In August 2020, Sherman officials said the city of Howe owed nearly $384,000 in debt in past wastewater treatment fees. However, that total has continued to rise amid heavy rains over the past year and issues with Howe s aging water infrastructure. Howe remains in arrears on their sewer bill to the tune of a half-million dollars, but we continue to communicate with their city leadership to find a solution that works for both communities, Sherman Community and Support Service Manager Nate Strauch said. We’re hopeful to come to terms on a payment plan that will ensure the citizens of Sherman no longer have to foot the bill to treat Howe’s sewage.
Raising Cane s coming to Sherman
Herald Democrat
A new Raising Cane s location may be on the horizon for the city of Sherman. The Sherman Planning and Zoning Commission is expected to receive a request Tuesday from Raising Cane s Restaurants, LLC to build a new restaurant in the Sherman Town Center.
The item is on the consent agenda and its expected to pass with no discussion. When the city of Sherman conducted a citizen restaurant survey in 2019, Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers was far-and-away the most requested eatery – nearly doubling the second place finisher, Sherman Community and Support Service Manager Nate Strauch said. And we have continued to hear about high demand for their product in our community.
