Two residents told the council a 10-day notice period is insufficient before water shutoffs for nonpayment and asked for extended notice or policy changes; council did not record an immediate policy change.

During the public comment portion of the April 13 meeting, residents Guido Bini and Traci Eccles told the council that a 10-day notice period prior to shutting off water service for nonpayment is insufficient. They asked the council to reconsider the notice timeline used before disconnections occur.
