Council amends Veolia contract to add wastewater 'hot‑box' monitoring for billing
Summary
The council approved an amendment to the town's contract with Veolia (Veolia Water) to monitor additional water-meter "hot boxes" used to calculate wastewater billing; members clarified that amendment concerns wastewater billing measures, not potable water service.
The Lincoln Town Council voted to amend the town's contract with Veolia to add monitoring of additional water-meter "hot boxes" used for wastewater-billing measurement.
What was added: Town staff explained the amendment extends the scope of the existing wastewater contract to include monitoring of additional hot-box locations that are used to determine sewer charges (sewer use is billed based on water usage). The town administrator said this addition clarifies monitoring responsibilities and adds a specific location to the contractor's duties.
Council members asked whether the amendment affects potable water service; staff clarified the contractor's duties are limited to wastewater monitoring and billing, not to potable water service. "This is an extension and amendment of your wastewater contract, but it has to do with the billing," a staff member said.
The council moved, seconded and approved the resolution to amend the contract; the meeting record shows the motion carried by voice vote.
