After reviewing the situations and the materials in exhibit A, the board identified the starting point to charge the customer for unmetered water usage will be 17 months ago. The board discussed identifying a common water usage in gallons for a house similar to the size of 307 East Main Street. They also discussed averaging the water rates, the first rate being that of 17 months ago (11.82) and the second rate being the current rate (12.05). Using the average consumption as well as the average rate as described, the clerk will identify the amount owed to the SABPA for water usage. Also, the customer will be billed for the user fees owed to the SABPA. The board identified the rate to be $15.25, also using the 17-month time period to charge the customer for the user fee. The board identified that these estimated charges must be paid in full within 90 days without interest or penalties, beginning January 13, 2023. If the customer fails to pay the charges owed within 90 days, the standard late fee of 10% will be applied to the account. Also, at that time, the standard delinquent process will be followed according to Village Ordinance 921.02. The board clarified that the customer is expected to comply with the plan as stated above, as well as stay current on his regular monthly water charges, otherwise the standard practice of penalties and/or disconnection according to the Village of South Amherst Ordinances will apply. The clerk stated she is not familiar with the sizes and/or occupancy of the homes in the village. She asked the board to clarify what home she should use for the average consumption. The board suggested a home of roughly the same size, being 376 Annis Road. Zoltan Zoltai moved to Adjourn the meeting. Mark Leshinski seconded. The roll was called with all in favor. Respectfully submitted, Alexandra Sabine-Tuggle, Water Board Clerk 1|Page
