authorizes the utility billing division to adjust fourteen accounts in accordance with the City's
sewer adjustment policy. These accounts have adjustments in excess of the $250 adjustment
for sewer and $250 adjustment for water allowed under the current City Ordinance:
BACKGROUND
Under Section 110-191 of the Code of Ordinances, the utility billing division is
authorized to make sewer adjustments up to $250 on accounts that have had excessive water
usage due to documented leaks, or unexplained spikes in consumption. "Exhibit A" attached
to the resolution lists fourteen accounts that I am recommending for adjustment. These
accounts have had serious problems with leaks for several months and have already received
the maximum sewer and water adjustments of $250. These customers have worked diligently
with us to get the account resolved, have had all leaks repaired, and;have had decreased
consumption.
