ASHLAND - In October 2025, Wisconsin fined Michigan's HydroCorp $10,000 for using unlicensed workers to replace water meters in Ashland and 16 other cities in 2023, ruling the work required plumbing licenses. The Ashland Daily Press reports Mayor Matt MacKenzie said Ashland stopped using HydroCorp and finished installations with city staff after learning of the violation, which officials attributed to a mistaken belief about a utility employee licensing exemption. Ashland is now seeking state guidance and consulting attorneys. HydroCorp declined to comment.
