AN ORDINANCE relating to Seattle Public Utilities; amending provisions related to adjustments to the wastewater volume charge due to water leaks; and amending Section 21.28.100 of the Seattle Municipal Code.
Bill passed and chair of the Senate. Please read agenda item number six. Agenda item six. Constable 119 142. Relating to sale of public utilities and many provisions relating to adjustments to the wastewater volume charge due to water leaks and amending section 21.20 8.107 Inspection Committee recommends that the full council passed a bill. Councilmember Herbold. Thank you. This piece of legislation addresses complaints that SPU had been receiving around unfair billing under certain circumstances where there are water leaks. The proposed legislation removes the requirement that water leaks must be hidden or underground and makes other leaks eligible for adjustments to the wastewater volume based on other types of water leaks that don't actually enter the sewer system. The thinking being the customer should be charged for the the excess water usage, but not the sewer usage if the leak is not resulting in additional water going into the sewer. Thank you very much. Are there any further questions? Please call the role on the passage of the Bill O'Brien. Hi, Sergeant Bagshaw Johnson. I was. Herbold. I was scared.
