Council approves Ordinance 276 setting connection requirements to Linn Valley water; clarifies holding tank rules
Summary
Ordinance 276, establishing requirements for connection to the Linn Valley public water system, was approved. Council clarified that decommissioning means disconnecting the line between tank and house and that inspectors must document the disconnect with photographs.
The council moved to approve Ordinance 276, which sets requirements for connection to the Linn Valley public water system. Members focused on technical details including which valves customers may control and what constitutes a proper decommissioning of private holding tanks.
Council clarified that owners may install a valve on the private (owner) side of the meter but may not manipulate the city—s valve upstream of the meter. Staff and a council member also said the state inspector will need to photograph the disconnection showing the new service line is routed to the house rather than through a holding tank. The ordinance passed after council discussion and a recorded voice vote.
