Council acts on water grievances; approves $79.50 credit for one account
Summary
The council accepted the City Engineer’s recommendations on water grievances: 103 Glebe St. was tabled; several accounts received no adjustments after leaks were attributed to private property; a $79.50 bill credit was approved for 151 E. State St.
The Common Council reviewed water-billing grievances at its March 17 meeting and accepted the City Engineer’s recommendations.
The council tabled the grievance for 103 Glebe Street. No adjustments were approved for accounts at 3 Yost St., 14 Prospect St., 212 S. Melcher St. and 905 S. Perry St. after the city’s data log indicated leaks were found on the private properties and not attributable to city or meter error. The council approved an adjustment for 151 E. State Street: staff confirmed a shutoff had been requested in 2020 and water was later restored in 2025 without owner request, and the council approved a $79.50 credit for that account.
Council accepted the City Engineer’s recommendations and approved the motion 5-0. The minutes do not record individual statements from the account holders or a detailed billing audit in the meeting text.
