Utility Clerk Breanna Plantenga brought to the Council’s attention, that there is a resident that has requested a sewage adjustment for watering their grass, due to having to dig their yard up. Typically, the town does not allow sewage adjustments for watering grass. After some discussion, it was decided that the Council will wait to make a decision on the issue, at the next Council Meeting.
A couple of residents expressed concern over a drop off on Scott St and drainage issues. After some discussion, Water Superintendent Bob Thomas said that he will call our engineer and get the problem fixed.
