Council approves $227 sewer credit for 903 West 8th Street after staff finds leak
Summary
Following staff review of meter history, the council approved a $227 sewer billing credit for 903 West 8th Street. Staff said the leak coincided with the customer's reported dates and crossed two billing cycles; staff and council noted differing leak-length estimates.
The council approved a sewer-forgiveness request for a residence at 903 West 8th Street after staff reviewed meter records and the customer's account history.
Staff described the issue as a leaking spigot that affected sewer usage; "I truly do believe it was leaking spigot," staff said, and recommended a $227 credit toward the customer's account based on usage averages. Staff noted the leak spanned two billing periods; staff estimates of leak duration ranged from about 10–12 days to as much as 16 days in different references during the discussion.
Council asked for confirmation of dates and the staff explanation; the council voted by roll call to approve the credit and apply it as a bill adjustment. The council recorded no additional conditions on the forgiveness other than noting the city will place the credit on the customer's account.
