North Baltimore staff to notify residents about lead-pipe findings; billing policy to be enforced
Summary
Financial Officer Matt Clouse said staff are working through inactive water accounts and will assess unpaid renter bills to homeowners when a renter cannot be located; lead-pipe inventory is complete and residents are expected to receive notices around June 16.
At the June 3 Committee of the Whole meeting, Financial Officer Matt Clouse told council that staff are reviewing inactive water and sewer accounts and distributing the village's billing policy. Clouse said the village will pursue unpaid bills and, if the renter cannot be located, will assess the bill to the property owner.
Mr. Roberts will research specifics of applying the policy and present recommended steps to council at a later date. Mr. Roberts also reported that Daniel Kline had received assistance treating the reservoirs and is doing well and that a mixer has been installed on the Grant Road water tower.
Staff confirmed that all lead-pipe information has been entered into village systems and that residents near affected lines will be notified around June 16. Cross-training of water staff, including Matt Smith and Jared George, is underway to ensure operational coverage.
No policy changes or enforcement votes were taken at the meeting; staff will return with implementation details.
