Altoona council waives $2,887.76 sewer charge for property at 600 4th Street SE
Summary
The council approved a resident's request to waive a $2,887.76 sewer portion of a utility bill after a meter swap found no proof water entered the sewer system; the leak was located under an exterior concrete slab.
The Altoona City Council approved a waiver of the sewer portion of a resident's utility bill totaling $2,887.76 for the property at 600 4th Street SE.
Randy Pierce, city administrator, summarized the request and the investigation: the resident was notified of high use but could not locate an interior leak; a plumber later found a leak under a concrete slab outside the house and the city swapped the meter, which showed no evidence that the excess water entered the city's sewer system.
On that basis the council approved waiving the sewer portion of the bill by roll call (vote recorded 4-0). The transcript does not record any appeal rights or conditions attached to the waiver; staff will process the billing adjustment per usual utility procedures.
