Summary
The clerk reported a utility overage billed by 'Snotter' totaling $365,683.44 over the last year; council discussed that meters bill regardless of whether water is lost and hope a new line will reduce future losses.
During the financial report the clerk presented an overage bill from a vendor identified as 'Snotter' totaling $365,683.44 for the past year. "It's a big one," the clerk said, adding the town will continue to owe commodity/metered charges even if water leaks off the system.
