Mayor recalls 2014 water crisis; council notes billing errors, extends payment leniency
Summary
The mayor recounted the town's 2014 decision to rely on county water services after filtration costs rose; councilmembers acknowledged billing-area errors and said the town had given residents extended time to pay.
The mayor told the council the town previously moved some water responsibilities to the county after concluding it could not afford to maintain its own filtration system, citing a 2014 decision as the board's recollection of events. "If I misspoke, I apologize. But the best of my recollection is that's why we went to the, county," the mayor said.
Council members and staff also discussed recent billing-area errors tied to the water situation and confirmed the town had offered extended payment time for affected residents as a leniency measure. A council member summarized the local approach to handling arrears as accommodating: "That's correct," one council member said when asked about leniency, and the record shows no formal additional policy action at this meeting.
