Council approves two residential water-bill adjustments after leaks discovered
Summary
After staff identified high usage caused by leaks, the council reduced Josh White's bill from $2,822.28 to the base rate of $210.98 and reduced Matt Martinson’s bill from $5,241.20 to $210.98, approving both adjustments by majority vote.
The council approved two customer water-bill adjustments on April 7 after the clerk and staff contacted the customers and confirmed leaks had been fixed. Clerk Luanne reported she called both customers after noticing unusually high usage; Josh White found and fixed his leak, and Matt Martinson had already corrected his.
Councilmember Ditsworth moved that Josh White’s bill be adjusted from $2,822.28 to the base rate of $210.98; the motion was seconded by Sandretto and passed by majority vote. Ditsworth then moved to adjust Matt Martinson’s bill from $5,241.20 to the base rate of $210.98; the motion was seconded by McGuire and passed by majority vote.
The actions restore both accounts to the town’s base billing amount after confirmed leaks. The council recorded dollar amounts and motions in the minutes and did not attach additional repayment or penalty conditions in the meeting record.
