Jury adopts ordinance creating Consolidated Waterworks/Sewerage District No. 2 and fee schedule
Summary
Ordinance No. 5103 was adopted to create District No. 2, define boundaries, create a Board of Appeals, set water and billing policies (including leak adjustments and penalties), and authorize district powers; the vote was unanimous.
The Bossier Parish Police Jury adopted Ordinance No. 5103 to amend Chapter 122 to provide for creation and boundary definition of Consolidated Waterworks/Sewerage District No. 2. The ordinance designates the district as a political subdivision with authority to incur debt, issue bonds, and levy assessments consistent with state statutory authority.
Ordinance No. 5103 also establishes a Board of Appeals for District No. 2, a fee schedule (for example, residential water $27.00 for the first 2,000 gallons + $0.0045 per additional gallon, commercial water $45.50 for the first 5,000 gallons + $0.0045 per additional gallon), and billing policies including a five-percent late charge and potential disconnection after five business days. The motion to adopt was offered by Doug Rimmer, seconded by Pam Glorioso, and the ordinance was adopted unanimously.
