Staff Report & Agenda Item Details

the District in response to a customer cutting a lock on a water meter to gain service. Mrs. Ross motioned to approve a $50 tampering fee. Ms. Hartsfield seconded the motion. All members voted in favor and the fee was approved. Mr. Holcomb provided that he is asking the Board to approve the definitions presented and allow ANRA to decide if a property meets the definition rather than having to bring the item before the Board each time. Mr. Jones asked if research will be done on the property, as has been presented before, to which Mr. Holcomb responded that it would. Mr. Hart asked what happens if a guy builds a barn and wants sewer. Mrs. Ross responded that it is fine, but he will have to pay for a sewer tap. Mr. Holcomb stated that “Water Only” status is an exemption from a sewer charge. Mr. Hart asked what happens with a camper. Mr. Holcomb responded that if the customer is hauling their sewer away, then that is fine. If they are discharging it, then there is a problem. More discussion occurred regarding the opening of a store by Mr. Hart and the requirement of having one meter per structure. Ms. Hartsfield motioned to approve the “Water Only” and “Sewer Only” account definitions as presented, with a second by Mrs. Ross. All members voted in favor and the definitions were approved. Mr. Holcomb stated that he is not ready to provide a suggested commercial rate because Redland School has a 2” water meter. There was no action taken regarding this item. Consideration and A
