Written & Oral Communication:

Resident Louis Hoyles on behalf of the Knights of Columbus inquired on the K of C hall water and sewer bill. Councilman Best explained the Village’s meter reading system had not been operating correctly and the hall was being billed the minimum usage of 2 water units and no sewer usage per month for the entirety of 2024. When the meter was read it showed usage of 41 units. So the system billed them for the entire 41 units even though they had already paid 24 units.
