Scofield council reviews optional water-leak protection for customers; staff to get more detail
Summary
Council members discussed a vendor proposal for optional water-leak protection with monthly rates ranging from $1.75–$2.35 depending on per-occurrence limits; council asked staff to clarify coverage (including whether in-house leaks are covered) before a mailing to customers.
Unidentified Speaker 1 presented an updated October 9 proposal for an optional water-leak-protection product the town could offer customers. The speaker read sample pricing: $1.75 per month for a $500 per-occurrence limit, $2 per month for $1,000, and $2.35 per month for $2,500.
Council members asked whether the policy covers leaks inside a customer's house or only from the meter to the house. Unidentified Speaker 1 said the document provided so far did not make that clear and that staff will request full details from the vendor before distributing an offer to all customers. The speaker suggested a mailer would be used to gauge resident interest once questions are answered.
No decision to enroll customers or add the charge to bills was made at the meeting; the council requested additional information.
