Woodruff board addresses delinquent water account, meter replacements and a water‑connection settlement
Summary
Officials reviewed delinquent water accounts and the town's procedures for shutoff notices, agreed to replace aging water meters with local help, and discussed a settlement giving a property 30 days to pay after the connection is certified.
The board discussed current water‑billing and meter issues, including a delinquent account for a resident (identified in the meeting record) that had not responded to certified mail. Staff clarified that for service shutoff they must either hand a notice to the account holder or document service (picture of notice on door) before proceeding.
On infrastructure, the board directed town staff to coordinate with Paul and Chris to replace aging water meters; replacements were described as a standard maintenance item and Paul indicated he could help with installation.
Separately, the board reviewed a settlement agreement related to a new water connection. The agreement reportedly states that, once fully executed and certified by the town, the property will have 30 days to pay and the town accepts the water connection and responsibility to maintain the waterline. Board members said staff will file and manage the documentation and follow up on the payment timeline.
