Resident reports 7,000-gallon bill and broken streetlight; administrator to follow up
Summary
A resident, Terry Walter, told council he received notice showing 7,000 gallons of water use but cannot find a leak; he also reported a snapped light pole at Second and Plymouth and concerns about plow truck coordination. Administrator Peter Them said he will review the notice and call Mr. Walter.
During Communications from Citizens, Terry Walter of 125 Plymouth Street said he received a notice indicating he had used 7,000 gallons of water and said he could not find a leak in his house. He asked whether his water meter might be bad. Administrator Peter Them said he would review the notice and call Mr. Walter the next day to follow up.
Walter also asked whether the snapped light pole at Second Street and Plymouth Street would be repaired, saying the corner is very dark without a streetlight. He raised an operational issue about plow trucks: he said one truck spreads salt and five minutes later another truck scrapes up the salt; Them noted the problem appears to be driver miscommunication on radio channels.
The council did not record any immediate repairs, adjustments to billing, or a formal directive in the transcript; the administrative follow-up recorded was Administrator Them's promise to review the water-notice and contact the resident.
