ADDITIONAL EMPLOYEE -PLANT OPERATOR I:
The Committee authorized Superintendent McCracken to promote a present
employee to the newly created position of Water Meter Specialist I and
to hire a new employee to then fill the Water Plant Operator I position.
WATER LEAKS -POLICY:
The Committee reviewed and discussed the present policy regarding water
leaks which allows a 50%rate adjustment per meter on a water leak once
in a five year period.In order to encourage prompt repair of water
leaks,the Committee recommends adding to the present policy that the
service line owner be given 5 days notice to repair the water leak.If
not repaired within the 5 days,either the owner will be billed for the
full amount of water lost or the Town will shut off the water,depending
on where the leak occurs.An ordinance incorporating this policy into
the Municipal Code will be prepared by the Town Attorney.
WATER BILLING:
To facilitate administration,the Committee recommends that water billing
commence upon purchase of a tap rather than when the physical connection
is made.
REPORTS:
SPOMER’S WATER APPLICATION FOR THE HARMONY RANCH AREA has been withdrawn

area has been cancelled.
