Board approves two residential water-bill adjustments after reported toilet leaks
Summary
The board approved two customer water-bill adjustments for properties that reported toilet leaks; transcript amounts were not clearly recorded and are reported as not specified in the meeting record.
The DeWitt Town Board approved two residential water-bill adjustments after staff reported repaired toilet leaks at the affected properties.
Staff presented two adjustment requests: one for a property at 101 Marvell Road and another at 210 East River Terrace. In both cases staff said the high usage resulted from toilet leaks that have since been repaired and recommended adjusted bills; the board moved and approved the adjustments by voice vote.
The transcript recorded the discussion but the specific dollar amounts and final adjusted totals were not clearly legible in the meeting audio record provided. Where numeric values were unclear in the record, the board’s action and the reasons (toilet repairs and abnormal usage) are stated but amounts are listed as not specified; official billing records should be consulted for final figures.
Board members noted that new meters with alerting capability should reduce similar incidents in future by flagging unusual usage to customers and staff earlier.
Motions to approve the two adjustments carried by voice vote.
