Mannsville considers $4,500 replacement for faulty water bill acceptor
Summary
Water operator Norm Jones told the board the current bill acceptor jams weekly; vendor quoted approximately $4,500 for a new unit with bill acceptor, switches and front plate, likely deliverable this spring. Trustees voted to buy a new unit.
Water operator Norm Jones told the board the village’s coin-and-bill acceptor for water payments has been jamming and requires cleaning about once a week. He said there is no direct replacement that fits the current housing and that the vendor can build a new unit tailored to the village’s coin acceptor. The vendor estimate is about $4,500 including shipping, with likely delivery in spring.
The board approved a motion to buy a new unit (motion made by Trustee Charlie Graves; seconded by Trustee Jarod Ormsby). The minutes record the motion and second but do not include a roll-call vote or funding account to be used; the clerk’s financial report earlier in the meeting listed reserve and checking balances that could be used for the purchase.
