Crainville board to consult with Carterville after Red Howerton homeowner found tied into neighboring sewer
Summary
Village staff discovered a Red Howerton resident’s sewer lateral is connected to Carterville’s sewer while the household has been billed by Crainville; the board directed President Sam Jones to consult Carterville Mayor Brad Robinson for a remedy.
Village street and water workers identified that a resident on Red Howerton had a sewer lateral connected to Carterville’s sewer rather than Crainville’s. The minutes state the resident’s sewer is being treated by Carterville while the resident has been paying a sewer bill to Crainville. The board noted that reconnecting the lateral to Crainville’s sewer main would cost the resident 'several thousand dollars.'
President Sam Jones said he will talk to Carterville Mayor Brad Robinson to see if the two municipalities can find a solution. The minutes do not record a proposed funding arrangement, whether Crainville or Carterville would absorb costs, nor do they record any timeline for resolution. The resident is not named in the minutes.
