Council moves to align water-connection rules, removes Water Master permit language for rewrite
Summary
The Wales Town Council directed staff to work with the town attorney to revise water-connection language so Planning & Zoning and the Town ordinance match, and to remove the Water Master’s permit issuance authority; a formal ordinance update will return for council vote.
The Wales Town Council on May 5 directed staff to draft revisions to the town’s water-connection ordinance to ensure the Planning & Zoning rules and the Town ordinance state the same requirements and to remove language that allows the Water Master to issue connection permits.
Mayor James Roberts summarized the council’s direction that staff coordinate with the town attorney and present a proposed ordinance change at a future meeting for a formal vote. Council members said the intent is to make water hookups conditional on a case-by-case basis and to have consistent language between the two codes.
Council did not adopt the ordinance on May 5; the item was continued to allow legal review and for staff to bring back a draft for consideration. The timeline entry for this discussion begins at SEG 002 and ends at SEG 002.
