Item 5: Mr. Crowder was moved next on the agenda.
Mr. Crowder had a large leak on his side of the meter.

He felt the break in his line was our fault because of those reasons. Mr. Crowder stated he can’t afford the bill and he is not at the property.

Mr. Bills told Mr. Crowder the Board of Directors would discuss it and call him with their decision.
