9. For Discussion & for Possible Action – Consideration of the District providing services to repair privately owned water lines at the request of residents for additional charges. When customers’ meters are not in the utility easements next to our mains, water resources are lost and unbilled when there are leaks in un-metered lines between the District’s owned distribution system and customers’ meters. Consideration of the District setting up a billable service for the repair or service of those lines. Staff requests that the Board authorize staff to look into this option, with potential services and billing rates.
