Summary
Ordinance No. 5103 amends the Bossier Parish Code to create Consolidated Waterworks/Sewerage District No. 2 boundaries and powers, establishes a Board of Appeals, and adds fee and billing policies including residential/commercial water rates, leak adjustments, late fees and reconnection rules.
The minutes record that Ordinance No. 5103 amends Ordinance No. 4645 and adds Sec. 122-80 through Sec. 122-83 to the Bossier Parish Code of Ordinances. The ordinance defines the legal boundaries of Consolidated Waterworks/Sewerage District No. 2, confirms it as a political subdivision under Chapter 22-A of Title 33 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes, and enumerates powers including authority to incur debt, issue bonds and levy assessments.
Ordinance No. 5103 also creates a three-member rotating Board of Appeals for District No. 2, establishes a fees and policies schedule and billing rules. The minutes record specific fee language: residential water set at $27.00 for the first 2,000 gallons plus $0.0045 per additional gallon; commercial water $45.50 for the first 5,000 gallons plus $0.0045 per additional gallon; water rates inside city limits to be 1.5 times the established rates. Billing policies include up to two leak adjustments per year (crediting one-half of the usage when proof of repair is provided), a 5% late charge after the posted due date, disconnection if unpaid within five business days, and a $50 reconnection fee when service is turned off at the meter.
