Item 4: Werr, Scott & Maureen
Mr. Werr was moved next on the agenda. He stated to the board he lived on FM 1367 and they had always experienced low pressure, especially during the summer months. Mr. Werr said he had purchased another water meter due to added structures to the property and was afraid his pressure would be affected even more. The Board told him a 10 year plan had been voted on and passed and FM 1367 was in the plan to be upgraded, so his problem should be taken care of shortly.
Item 5: Spain, Jerry & Terri
Mr. Spain was moved next on the agenda. He stated to the Board he was asking to have his water meter moved, due to his personal water line running through several of his neighbors properties and water leaks have occurred leaving him with the responsibility of several high water bills. Malcolm stated it would cost $2509.00 to move the water meter. Mr. Spain felt the Corporation should pay to have the meter moved. The Board said they were sorry about his situation, but it was his personal water line and it was up to the member to pay for moving the water meter. Mr. Spain was offered a two year pay-out plan, if that would help.
