Resident questions charge for new water meter installation and asks about dirt pile at old middle school site
Summary
William Eichler asked why North Ridgeville charges $3.50 for water meters when, he said, nearby cities do not, and asked about dirt piled at the former middle‑school site; no formal response was offered during the meeting.
In the lobby session on July 21, resident William Eichler said he had two water meters installed the same day and that the installer told him North Ridgeville is the only city charging residents $3.50 for meter installation. Eichler asked council why the charge exists when neighboring communities allegedly do not charge.
Eichler also asked about the dirt being piled at the site of the old middle school and requested information; council members acknowledged his questions and said staff would look into the letter and the installation notices for which residents had asked.
No formal action or explanation was recorded on either question during the meeting; the city had previously announced a water‑meter replacement project and encouraged appointments with the vendor UMS to install new meters.
