City Manager Michael Johnson updated council on the municipal service-line warranty program, which provides residents coverage for water and sewer service-line repairs.

Johnson said the program currently has 539 sewer plans in effect and that 47 covered repairs have been completed with an average repair cost of $1,594. He said program participants have collectively recognized about $74,922 in savings so far and noted the program covers repairs up to $8,500 per claim.
