#WS 6154 01/22 RESOLVE, that after discussion with Mr. Brown the Water and
Sewer Board voted to take no action on Mr. Brown’s request for a reduction in the
billed amount for the water used at his location. The Board agreed that since the
building had been vacant for so long, the pipes were filled with sediment which
caused the clogging of plumbing fixtures resulting in replacement costs for fixtures
and the overuse of water to clear them and that this issue was not the result of any
negligence on the part of the City.
A roll call vote was taken:
AYES: Gierak, Skaggs, Little, Jackson, Jones
