Residents raise utility-billing and service concerns; town staff to follow up
Summary
At the Sept. 16 Middletown council meeting, a resident complained about a utility bill and treatment by utility staff, the homeowner of Crestwood lot 54 reported no electric service, and a scheduled water-issue appearance was handled by staff after the resident did not attend; staff said meters and inspections will be checked and the town attorney will follow up by letter.
During public comment at the Sept. 16 Middletown Town Council meeting, resident Tyler Ferrell expressed displeasure with his utility bill and with how he was treated by Utility Office staff; Carl, identified in the minutes as Utility Office staff, said the resident's meter was being checked for accuracy.
Separately, the homeowner of the mobile home at lot 54 in Crestwood said they did not have electric service. Carl told the council the lot had not passed inspection and said he would follow up with Crestwood's owners to resolve the problem.
Ryan Wallace, listed on the agenda regarding a water situation, did not attend. Carl described the water issue to the council and Town Attorney Joel Harvey said he would send Wallace a letter stating the matter was concluded. Council minutes record no further action at the meeting on these items.
The minutes also note that staff must gain interior access to disconnect power for a planned demolition at 907 Locust St in early October; Town Attorney Joel Harvey said he would contact the property owner about access.
