Authority Manager James Stevens reported that staff mailed 149 certified 30‑day notices to delinquent sewer customers; 93 accounts currently remain with outstanding balances. Stevens provided a collections status breakdown processed through JSDC (James, Smith, Dietterick & Connelly, LLP): 21 accounts at Step 1, 15 at Step 2, two with forbearance agreements, and one account referred for sheriff sale (scheduled for March 2026) involving property listed as 3 South Road. Stevens also reported two accounts are in bankruptcy (14 Longwood Drive and 431 Hogestown Road).
The board heard the update as an informational item. No further formal action beyond ongoing collection steps was recorded in the minutes at this meeting. Stevens noted the certified‑letter campaign and the staged collection process as the current enforcement approach.
The board did not change collection policy during the meeting; staff will continue with the documented collection steps and pursue judicial remedies where appropriate.
