Trimont council waives sewer fees for resident claiming pool water doesn’t enter sewer; vote 4-1
Summary
Resident Megan Morgan asked the council to reduce sewer charges because pool discharge does not enter the sewer system; the council approved a waiver 4-1, with Council Member Bradford Flohrs the sole no vote.
Trimont’s City Council voted 4-1 on Aug. 18 to waive sewer charges for resident Megan Morgan after she said the water used to fill a private pool does not flow into the sewer system.
Megan Morgan asked the council to reduce sewer charges on the basis that pool discharge leaves the property rather than flowing to the municipal sewer. Council Member Brian Krumwiede moved to waive the sewer fees and Mayor Kevin Kuehl seconded. The motion passed with Council Member Bradford Flohrs opposed. The meeting record does not show technical metering data or staff calculation details; the council’s action was limited to Morgan’s account and did not set a new, council-wide sewer-rate policy.
Council members approved the waiver as a single-account adjustment. The council did not adopt new utility-rate rules at the meeting and tabled a separate broader water-rate discussion for a later date.
