The City of Monticello, Iowa
IN THE NAME AND BY THE AUTHORITY OF THE CITY OF MONTICELLO, IOWA
RESOLUTION #2022-41
To waive portion of Sewer bill related to water usage at 100 West Seventh Street, Monticello, Iowa
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that the water/sewer usage at the Ray Zirkelbach’s rental property located at 100 West Seventh was higher than normal and was tied to a leak from a frozen pipe due boiler froze, with the water not entering the City Sanitary Sewer System, and
WHEREAS, existing City Policy only allows a credit when it can be shown that the water leak did not flow into the City Sanitary Sewer System and when the calculated credit exceeded $100.00, and
WHEREAS, it has been reported that the substantial increase in water usage was related to a boiler line froze and the water leaked on the slab and out the door, and that same has been repaired by Zirkelbach’s plumber, who advised that the water leaked on the slab and out the door, therefore not entering the sanitary sewer system and not being treated at the Monticello Sewage Treatment Facility, and
WHEREAS, based upon the fact that the leaking water did not receive treatment at the sewage treatment facility, the Council finds it appropriate to waive that portion of the sewer billing that exceeds the normal and customary sewer usage by Zirkelbach, and
WHEREAS, The Council finds that the normal sewer usage billing for Zirkelbach should be based upon the usage of 1,000 gallons of water, resulting in a credit, for the one reading period in question totaling $314.47, which exceeds the minimum credit amount of $100.00, previously established by the City Council.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of Monticello, Iowa does hereby waive a portion of the Sewer billing on the Zirkelbach account related to the property located at 100 West Seventh Street in the amount of $314.47.
IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, I have hereunto subscribed my name and caused the Great Seal of the City of Monticello, Iowa to be affixed hereto. Done this 21st day of March, 2022.
