Ordinance Amendment - Construction Water Meter Deposit
Submitted By:
Wes Kucera, Managing Director
Summary of Request/Problem
The current deposit for a customer to receive a high velocity water meter for construction purposes is $1,000. This deposit will be refunded less the cost of damage to the meter when it is returned. The current deposit amount does not cover the cost to replace the meter should it be damaged beyond repair. Increasing the deposit for a high velocity water meter for construction purposes to $2,000 will adequately cover the cost of replacing any damaged meters.
Recommendation/Action Requested and Justification
Garland Water Utilities recommends increasing the deposit amount to $2,000 for a high velocity water meter for construction purposes. Unless otherwise directed by Council, this item will be scheduled for formal consideration at the December 13, 2022 Regular Meeting.
