Hidden Springs signs sharing agreement to pursue unpaid sewer charges; manhole maintenance schedule still pending
Summary
Board members said a sharing agreement has been signed that creates a path to recover funds from CR residents; HSTA can place liens and send Hidden Springs residents to collections but cannot do the same for CR residents. The agreement allows shutting off service for both communities; no manhole maintenance schedule update was available.
During the April 22 meeting board members raised questions about customers in arrears and whether scheduled manhole maintenance had started. The minutes state that a sharing agreement has been signed; the agreement "has language that HSSC has a path forward to recover funds from CR residents who do not pay." The board discussed differences in collection authority: HSTA can place liens and send Hidden Springs residents to collections, but the company lacks the same unilateral collection power over CR residents.
Minutes note the agreement includes language permitting the cut-off of sewer service for both Hidden Springs and CR residents, and the board said it is exploring the legal process for residents severely in arrears. The company has reached out to the CR Town Association and the Town Council so those bodies can inform their residents; no update on the manhole maintenance schedule was provided and an official report is expected at the next Town Council meeting. Paul Powell moved to adjourn the meeting, Garry Stanislaw seconded; the motion carried 4-0 and the meeting adjourned at 6:38 p.m.
