Onancock council approves using utility reserves to pay for repairs from water leaks
Summary
Facing street-repair overages after water leaks, the council voted 6-0 to allow the town manager to use utility reserves to pay to pave areas disrupted by the leaks.
Town Manager Matt Spuck told council that recurring water leaks had pushed street-repair costs past the budgeted amount and requested permission to use the utility reserve to pay paving overages. Councilmember Lisa Fiege moved to allow the Town Manager to use utility reserves for paving disrupted areas; Councilmember Sarah Nock seconded and the motion passed 6-0.
The motion authorizes limited use of utility reserve funds for pavement repairs caused by water leaks; council did not specify a dollar ceiling during the recorded motion. The action was presented as a one-time measure to cover immediate overages and will be reflected in subsequent financial reporting.
