P. O. 5768
This proposed ordinance amends the code of ordinances to enable us to adjust water, (in
addition to the sewer adjustments currently authorized), from residential and Church
customer's bills that are excessive due to leaks or to unexplained, "unusually high"
consumption. The current ordinance provides for water adjustments only on residential
accounts. The adjustments for churches will be based on the same policies as currently
applied to residential accounts.
