Several waterline leaks have been evident along East Riverside Drive.
Superintendent McCracken reported that one leak hadbeenfound in Mrs.
Spencer’s service line and that more are expected in Dr.Session’s
and the Mark Twain Manor service lines.The Committee recommends in
forming the water customers involved of the necessary repairs and then
proceeding with the repairs and billing the customers according to the
Municipal Code.
RESOLUTION REGARDING RATE ADJUSTMENTS:
Resolution #13—77 passed April 26th stated that small adjustments in
water customers’bills would be made because of differences in time
periodsbetween flat rate and meter rate and because of different
actual meter reading dates.Adjusting the water bills for differences
in actual meter reading dates proved unfeasible and,therefore,the
Committee recommends repealing that portion of Resolution #13-77 and
passing the Resolution incorporating a 1/12 credit adjustment for the
change in rate periods.

the Board of Trustees.
