Board approves water-bill adjustment after mobile-home-park leak at West River Birch Drive
Summary
The Board of Public Works and Safety approved an adjustment request after a leak at 34008 West River Birch Drive that, a resident said, led to heavy water use. The board heard from the resident and staff before approving the adjustment.
The Board of Public Works and Safety approved a customer billing adjustment for a leak at 34008 West River Birch Drive after a resident told the board the leak had been repaired.
The adjustment request was presented during the board's May meeting after Brandy Doinger, a resident who identified herself as the occupant at the address, described a leak outside the meter that occurred during extended rainy weather and snowmelt. Doinger told the board the leak has been repaired and said the park used more than "a million gallons of water" while the leak was active.
Board members and staff questioned the location and cause of the leak and whether it was on the property side or the city side of the meter. A city staff member who had investigated the problem earlier was asked to follow up. Following that discussion a board member moved to approve the adjustment and another board member seconded; the board approved the motion.
The board did not provide a roll-call vote in the publicly archived audio; the motion to approve and the second were recorded on the meeting audio. The transcript indicates the board accepted the explanation that the leak had been repaired and approved the adjustment for that service address.
The board did not specify the dollar amount of the adjustment during the public discussion, and no written dollar figure was included in the minutes excerpt presented at the meeting.
