Mustang Ridge residents ask for clarity after city takes over secondary‑water billing
Summary
A Mustang Ridge Road resident told the council that neighborhood homeowners received a letter indicating the city will resume charging for secondary (irrigation) water and that rates and billing arrangements changed; city representatives offered to meet the neighborhood to explain.
During the public‑comment period of the Grantsville City Council meeting on Sept. 3, a resident of Mustang Ridge Road expressed confusion after the neighborhood received a letter saying that the irrigation provider would no longer handle billing and that the city would begin charging for secondary water again.
The commenter said homeowners had previously purchased water shares (about $10,000 at purchase) and paid hookup fees (about $700); they also said they had already paid irrigation charges in March and received a notice that billing responsibility had shifted. The commenter asked for more information and said neighbors would like an explanation.
A city representative offered to meet the neighborhood the following evening at 7 p.m. near Mustang Ridge Road (first street east of the Family Dollar) to explain the billing change. Several neighbors discussed meeting logistics in the meeting and agreed on a time and place for the city staffer to provide details.
Why it matters: Changes to secondary‑water billing can affect homeowners’ recurring costs and reflect shifts in which entity handles utility billing and collections.
What’s next: City staff offered to meet the Mustang Ridge neighborhood to explain the change and answer homeowners’ questions; residents requested evening meeting times to accommodate work schedules.
