Council approves developer refund and orders sewer-bill adjustment for resident after excessive watering
Summary
Council approved refunding $2,943.61 to a developer who backed out of a duplex project and authorized staff to compute and adjust a resident's sewer charges based on a six-month average after excess watering inflated the bill.
The Corydon Town Council approved two financial customer actions: a refund to a developer who canceled a duplex project and an authorization to adjust a resident's sewer charge after an unusually high water bill.
Council reviewed a request from a developer identified in the record as Mr. Stone Cipher, who paid $7,425 up front for sewer and water work but completed only $4,481.39 worth of work. The council approved refunding the difference of $2,943.61 and authorized staff to process the refund.
Resident Miss Carti brought a billing dispute where newly sodded yard watering drove a large water usage figure that was billed as sewer as well. Because the town has no existing policy for this exact circumstance, the council authorized office staff to compute a six-month average for the household's sewer usage and adjust the sewer portion of the bill accordingly. The clerk indicated the office would run a six-month average to determine the typical sewer charge and then credit the difference.
Both actions were approved by the council during the meeting; exact roll-call tallies were not recorded in the public transcript.
