Williamson accepts financial report, approves out-of-city water connection and posts CCR
Summary
Council accepted the financial report showing $1,085,601.28 in the General Fund, approved a request to extend city water to a property outside the city limits on 2nd District Road, and confirmed the Consumer Confidence Report was posted ahead of the July 1 deadline.
The Williamson City Council accepted the monthly financial report and approved allowing a city water connection for an out-of-city residence on 2nd District Road.
The finance report indicated the city is 42% through the fiscal year, with revenue collections at 62% and expenditures at 36%. Fund balances reported were: General Fund $1,085,601.28, Water Fund $265,196.29 and SPLOST $397,659.22. The council accepted the financial report on a unanimous vote.
The city clerk reported the Consumer Confidence Report for water quality had been completed and posted before the July 1 state deadline. Staff also presented a request to provide city water to a property outside the municipal limits on 2nd District Road after the clerk said the county advised it would not provide service and a city water line was nearby. Council voted unanimously to provide water service to the property (motion JS/CB 5-0).
The water department’s quarterly report noted a 2% system water loss, described in the minutes as top in the state, that meters are aging (battery life about 10 years) and that pressure and sampling meet expected schedules and EPD standards of 40–60 psi.
Council did not include projected costs or a service agreement in the minutes for the out-of-city connection; those details were not specified.
