Council approves reduction of disputed 15 Smith Street water/sewer charge to 50,000 gallons
Summary
After a water-department review and a plumbing inspection that found no leaks, the Middletown Town Council voted to reduce a high water/sewer charge for 15 Smith Street to an equivalent of 50,000 gallons on Mr. Massie’s motion.
The Middletown Town Council voted to reduce a disputed water and sewer charge for 15 Smith Street to 50,000 gallons following a staff review and a plumbing inspection.
Staff reported that the water-department review found no continuous leak at the property and that Acorn Plumbing and Heating had checked four toilets and found no leaks; staff also reported no flow detection at the water meter. Based on that review, Mr. Massie moved to reduce the high bill to an amount equivalent to 50,000 gallons; the motion was seconded and carried.
The council recorded the inspection and the lack of flow detection as the basis for the adjustment. No further public comment on the matter was recorded.
