Item 8: Johnny Aleshire Move Water Line
Malcolm was speaking for Mr. Aleshire, due to his working out of town. Mr. Aleshire purchased property on the system, purchased a water meter for the property and moved a single-wide trailer on the property. But, when the water meter was to be installed, the field found the trailer was on top of the Corporation’s 6” water line. He was asking, the Corporation to move our water line, because it would cost him to move the trailer. The Board said, they were very sorry, but it wasn’t a problem we could solve and we highly suggest, he move the trailer off the Corporation’s water line.
