The bill totals $1,619.71. This is <br /> three times the average amount that is paid to the city for this particular project. At the <br /> regular monthly meeting of the Housing Authority Board, the Commissioners voted to <br /> send correspondence to the city requesting this bill be adjusted. The Director has <br /> discussed this enormously high usage with the water and sewer supervisor. She was <br /> unable to determine why this high usage occurred. The HRA staff has no knowledge of <br /> any previous occurrences that would cause this many gallons of water to be used. As was <br /> told to the supervisor, during the month of November, a HUD inspection of all grounds <br /> and apartment units was scheduled. We conducted our own inspection on November 13th <br /> and 14`h, prior to their inspection, and found no running toilets or leaking showers. <br /> According to the city supervisor, the highest usage had been 69,000 gallons in July 2006, <br /> when we were doing some watering of the lawns. <br /> Please consider amending this bill. The Director will be happy to respond to any <br /> questions you may have regarding this issue. <br /> Resnectfiilly, <br /> 1.1�'e <br /> Robert Peterson <br /> Chairman/HRA Board <br /> 31203 N.Oak St.P.O.Box 243•Pequot Lakes,MN56472.218-568-4555.218-568-8968(Fax) •pequotlakes.govoffice.com <br />
