Mr. Kush is one of the property owners <br />that does not have a water stub. <br />The Engineer informed Mr. Kush that he will be getting a water stub. <br />The Engineer informed the Council that in the past watermain and water <br />stubs were assessed separately. Now the cost of the water stub is <br />included in the front footage assessment. <br />Mr. Braham stated that he should not be charged interest as he does <br />not have a water stub, and therefore could not use the watermain even <br />if he wanted to.
