BACKGROUND: Dr. Richard Brittingham is the account holder for the property at 6702 NW Grayson’s Mountain Drive. Consumption for the period from 4/20/10 to 5/19/10 was 616,000 gallons and from 5/19/10 to 6/18/10 it was 183,000 gallons. This monthly usage is unusually high for this account and was due to an underground leak on the customer’s service line. Our office notified Dr. Brittingham as soon as we became aware of the first high reading. Dr. Brittingham hired Pierce & Sons to check out the situation. It took Pierce & Sons a few days to locate the leak which was on the customer’s service line. The line was repaired by Pierce & Sons as evidenced by the attached invoice dated May 21, 2010. Mr. Pierce stated that, even though he was familiar with the customer’s line, it was difficult to locate the leak since the water was running into a drainage creek. The leak was repaired as soon as it was located. This situation meets the criteria set out in City Code Section 22-2-1-215-D. for approval of an adjustment to the customer’s service account. The calculated adjustment amount for the affected months’ bills is $2,239.80. City Code Section 22-2-1-215-D.10 requires this request for an adjustment to go before City Council since the amount exceeds $500.

EXHIBITS: Pierce & Sons invoice dated 5/21/2010.
