Hillsborough commissioners abate most sewer stand-by charges for Avanru Development
Summary
After reviewing correspondence from developer Jack Franks, the commission voted unanimously to abate 41 of 42 sewer stand-by charges for Avanru Development (total abatement $3,531.33), citing a lack of Certificates of Occupancy during the fourth-quarter 2024 billing period.
The Hillsborough Water & Sewer Commission on Dec. 5 approved an abatement of most sewer stand-by charges billed to Avanru Development for the fourth quarter of 2024. Correspondence from Jack Franks of Avanru said he received a sewer bill for 42 units totaling $3,617.46 at the stand-by rate and disputed the charges because no Certificates of Occupancy had been issued for the units during the Aug. 1—Oct. 31 billing period; he noted he did not dispute the water bill because water service had been used.
Commissioner Dana Clow moved to abate all but one unit of sewer stand-by charges, producing a total abatement amount of $3,531.33; Commissioner Dave Lewis seconded the motion. All commissioners voted in favor and the motion passed.
The minutes record the amount abated and the basis for the abatement (lack of Certificates of Occupancy during the billing period). The minutes do not record additional conditions, refunds timing or an itemized follow-up; those details were not specified.
