RECOMMENDATION
I recommend that the City Council adopt Proposed Resolution No. 15134 which
authorizes the utility billing division to adjust fifteen 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 fifteen 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.
SUMMARY
I recommend that the City Council adopt Proposed Resolution No. 15134 which
authorizes the utility billing division to adjust fifteen accounts in accordance with the City's
water and sewer adjustment policy. These accounts have adjustments in excess of the $250'
adjustment allowed under the current City Ordinance.
