It’s to combat the Eurasian Water Milfoil, according to Saugatuck City Manager Ryan Cummins.
An earlier treatment was on June 11th. Aquatic Doctors had estimated the total cost of this project at $74,750, which was borne by the city last year after property owners along the affected area had balked at being invoiced two years ago.
