Show $50 Fine Explained At the City Council meeting last night, the members of the council requested a clarification of the $50 fine stated in both the June and October mailings to the citizens in regard to sewer connections. The fine is for connecting to the system without permission and inspection, in-spection, not for failing to connect. In further action the council decided to leave the 90 day requirment to connect as mandatory, subject to the use of administrative authority to waive cases of hardship and or weather. It was pointed out that this should require approval ap-proval by the city attorney. It was pointed out that if any consideration that might be given to allowing property owners to wait until Spring to put in laterals would be made at the Nov. 22 meeting. However How-ever due to EPA require-ents require-ents for operation plus payments pay-ments to contractors and on the bonds, the city will have to require that the hook up fee and monthly charge will have to be met anyway to meet this. No formal action was taken and hook up requirements still exist. |
