Council tables proposed sewer pump-out code amendment; rate study to be completed by Idaho Rural Water Association
Summary
Council discussed an amendment to Harrison City Code 7-2-14F that would make property owners responsible for sewer pump-out costs, then voted to table the item while a DEQ-funded rate study is completed by Idaho Rural Water Association.
Council considered a proposed amendment to Harrison City Code 7-2-14F that would shift sewer pump-out expense responsibility to property owners. The council discussed the scope and fiscal implications during the agenda discussion.
Mayor Wanda Irish said that "Shelley Roberts from Idaho Rural Water Association is going to do a Rate Study and it will be paid for by DEQ." After discussion the council voted to table Item 6.C; the motion to table was made by Joe Cornell and seconded by Josephine Prophet and passed unanimously.
Tabling preserves the item for further study and allows the city to receive the rate analysis funded by the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality before taking an ordinance-level action.
