Board approves one-time waivers after two high-usage water events
Summary
The board approved resolutions granting one-time billing waivers for two properties that experienced large water-usage spikes (one meter showed about 45,000 vs. a 9,000 average; another registered ~251,000 gallons while vacant); staff explained meter-read practices and meter replacements.
Public works staff outlined two large water-usage spikes and requested one-time billing waivers. One address (210 North Of Lyon) recorded about 45,000 units over a billing period compared with an average of 9,000; staff said that meter-history limitations led to a replacement program. A second property at 201 East Comanche recorded about 251,000 gallons during the period while the unit was vacant; staff made a site call and shut the water off after being contacted.
"201 East Comanche, had a uses of 251,000 gallons through the 0.25," staff reported as part of the explanation for the waiver request. The board approved a resolution (cited in the packet as 20260115 R1) to issue updated bills and grant the one-time adjustment after a motion, second and roll-call vote.
