They had paid for two 1 -inch water meters, two MXU's, and two meter-sets for a total <br /> of about $800 to the city, as well as payment for the plumber's time and any other parts needed <br /> for plumbing them in. Once the meters were installed, everything was checked over and all was <br /> working fine. <br /> However, on April 30th, the water meters were read, and we discovered a high usage of <br /> 30,000 gallons at 30551 Apt. Bldg. whereas 30543 Apt. Bldg. only used 8,000 gallons. Betty <br /> Settevig called Tina about her water/sewer bill because she felt there was definitely something <br /> wrong about the high usage at that apt. bldg. and she wanted it looked into. Tina checked the <br /> ~' meter on May 6th, and the meter was working fine, but water was flowing through it when there <br /> shouldn't have been. It was discovered that there was a leaky toilet in one of the apt. units. The <br /> Settevigs repaired it right away. <br /> Because of their diligence of spending the money to get this work done and due to the fact <br /> that this was their first month being metered, I would ask the council to reduce their current <br /> charge of $674.36 to $342. 16. <br /> Gary Gilmer <br />
