Steinbach Mayor Chris Goertzen says an information booklet will be going out to each ratepayer within the annexed land from the Rural Municipality of Hanover.

(Steinbach Mayor Chris Goertzen)The annexation will take effect January 1st and Goertzen says some ratepayers have raised some questions. There are concerns with how services such as road maintenance and garbage and recycling pickup might be impacted.

"Obviously the services in those areas will either remain the same or improve," notes Goertzen.

According to the Mayor, there are not many residents living within the annexed area and so not a lot of questions are coming in. But he says an information booklet will go out to each of these ratepayers before the end of the year.

Anyone with questions is invited to call City Hall.
