Staff urges revisit of master meter option for Sterling Avenue trailer park
Summary
Staff recommended revisiting converting multiple meters to a single master meter for a Sterling Avenue trailer park, citing potential billing and locate issues and advising in-person meetings with property owners to clarify charges and ownership of trailers.
Staff raised concerns about current metering at a trailer park on Sterling Avenue and recommended reopening discussion on moving to a single master meter for that location. The staff member said shifting to one master meter would put all usage on a single charge on the main line, but emphasized the need to meet with property owners to determine ownership of individual trailers and implications for billing.
"We need to revisit the master meter. Going to 1 water meter out there," staff said, describing the situation and recommending a face-to-face meeting so staff and property owners can clarify ownership and billing responsibilities. The transcript shows staff noted several trailers were individually owned and some units were currently disconnected and awaiting removal.
Councilors asked staff to arrange an in-person meeting and to present clearer charge calculations and options for how customers would be billed if the town moves to a master meter arrangement. No formal vote or action was taken at the meeting; staff will return with options.
