Re-
Policy for Collection of Monies for
Unreported Sewer Connections and
Discharges to POTW
Dear Bob and Pat:
Pursuant to my remarks on the Board's motion, it would
appear that the Policy for Collection of Monies for Unreported
Sewer Connections and Discharges to POTW should read as follows
(and the Minutes should so reflect):
"Upon application to the District Board of Directors for
relief under Section 2.5 of Ordinance No. 359 from the provisions
of Ordinance No. 392, if the Owner of said property can
demonstrate sufficient proof to the District Customer Relations
Manager that the unreported sewer connections existed prior t~
the purchase of said property by said Owner, the District Cus-
tomer Relations Manager is authorized to grant relief from the
provisions of Ordinance No. 392 and then only charge three (3)
years back charge at the current sewer service charge rate.
"If the Owner cannot demonstrate sufficient proof, the
Owner shall then be subject to all provisions of Ordinance No.
392, Collection and Enforcement.
"An adverse decision of the District Customer Relations
Manager may be appealed to the Board of Directors by the Owner of
said property. The District Customer Relations Manager may refer
the application for relief to the Board of Directors for deter-
mination if unable to decide the issue of sufficient proof."
managed.
Hopefully, the policy will be mostly administratively
Yours very truly,
JCW:jb
