SUBJECT: Proposed Resolution 14700
RECOMMENDATION
- I recommend that the City Council adopt Proposed Resolution No. 14700 which
authorizes the utility billing division to adjust twenty 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 riventy 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 iesolved, have had all leaks repaired, and have had decreased
.consumption.

authorizes the utility billing division to adjust twenty accounts in accordance with the City's
