Board discusses shutoff pits and forgives one month of charges for 305 Lincoln Street
Summary
Board members raised the possibility of installing pits to enable shutoffs for delinquent water accounts and approved a motion to forgive one month past-due water charges for 305 Lincoln Street. The forgiveness motion was moved by Ed Davison and seconded by Heather Rodgers and recorded as passed.
The board discussed options for addressing delinquent water accounts, including installing pits to permit physical shutoffs for customers behind on bills. The minutes record that the board is "considering putting pits in to be able to shut the water off for people that are behind on their water bills," but do not record a final policy or vendor selection for that measure.
Separately, Ed Davison moved to forgive one month of past-due water charges for the address listed as 305 Lincoln Street; Heather Rodgers seconded and the motion passed with all members recorded as voting in favor. The minutes list this forgiveness as a specific, limited action and do not indicate a broader forgiveness policy.
The discussion indicates the board is weighing an operational change (installing pits) to enforce delinquent accounts, but the minutes record only a single instance of account forgiveness and no procedural detail (eligibility rules, future criteria, or implementation steps) for wider application.
