There is a chance that the radio was never transmitting properly (transmitting a number that was less <br />than the actual meter usage) and the additional water accumulated over the course of six years. This <br />seems less likely than the leak possibility, but it cannot be ruled out. <br />Because it took five quarters to discover the issue and because the meter was disposed of before it <br />could be tested to prove it hadn’t sped up, staff proposed billing Ms. Mach for half of the water usage <br />plus an additional $768 in sewer charges. In total, she would owe $3238.73. Ms. Mach would have <br />one year to pay off the balance with zero interest or fees. She would need to remain current with her <br />current utility bills and could pay off the extra as she sees fit over the course of one year. She agreed <br />to the proposal and seemed satisfied. <br />Staff recommends the City Council approve billing Ms. Flora Mach $3238.73 for 50% of the <br />unaccounted-for water on the water meter at 2616-22 Ruth Street and allow Ms. Mach to pay off the <br />balance over the course of one year with no interest or fees.
