Residents warn board they may lose water service tied to unpaid account
Summary
Brent and June Wilson told the Proctor Selectboard they fear losing water at their business because of an unpaid account and a recent change in property management; they submitted a letter for the Town Manager and sought help from the board.
Brent and June Wilson told the Town of Proctor Selectboard on Aug. 25 that they are worried their business will lose water service because of an unpaid account tied to their landlord. The couple said their landlord has outsourced property management and maintenance effective Sept. 1 and that they submitted a letter for the Town Manager to review.
The Wilsons asked the board to note their situation and to consider the implications of a shutoff on renters who operate a business. The minutes record the couple as expressing concern about “possible loss of water at their business due to the unpaid status.” No formal action was taken during the Aug. 25 meeting; the town manager was identified as the recipient of the submitted letter for follow-up.
The board did not vote or direct staff to a specific remedy during the public comment period. The Selectboard’s routine water-shutoff program was mentioned elsewhere in the meeting: the Town Manager’s report noted that water shut-offs “will be completed this week” with an updated report to be provided Sept. 8.
