Town attorney to draft ordinance raising water/sewer infraction fine to $5,000
Summary
Town Attorney Lyndsey Ryan proposed increasing the municipal infraction fee for unlawful or unpermitted water and sewer connections from $100 to $5,000 (the state-allowed maximum); the council agreed and Ryan will prepare an ordinance for the July meeting.
Town Attorney Lyndsey Ryan told the council the municipal infraction fee for unlawful or unpermitted connections to the town’s water and sewer system is currently $100 and recommended increasing the penalty to $5,000, the maximum allowed by state law. The council agreed and asked Ryan to draft an ordinance for introduction at the July meeting.
No formal ordinance text was presented on June 4; the minutes record the council’s agreement to pursue draft language and review it in July. The action is procedural: the council authorized staff to prepare an ordinance rather than adopting a new fine at the meeting.
