Item 5: Linda Allen-Double-Hook-Up
Mrs. Allen was moved next on the agenda. Mrs. Allen stated she received the double hook-up letter and could not believe we expected her to purchased another water meter.

Johnnie Bankston read the service agreement stating the one dwelling and one meter rule in which all members sign. The Board told Mrs. Allen their hands were tied and they must follow rules in place but a one year pay-out could be arranged, if that would help.
