SUMMARY STATEMENT:
After months of incremental increased usage amounts since 2018, in December 2020 the property owners and staff suspected there may be a leak at 623 Syringa Drive. The water crew inspected
the meter and property but found no physical evidence of a leak. However, water was going through the meter even when the water was turned off at the house. They suspect the leak probably
began as a ‘pin hole’ leak that gradually increased in size over the last 2/12 years. Staff received a leak adjustment request from the owners. The leak adjustment was calculated per
McCall City Code 6-4-240 and was applied to the month with highest usage. The resulting adjustment of $151.76 was applied to the utility account for 623 Syringa Drive.
The owner filed an appeal of the leak adjustment with the City Treasurer on April 8, 2021. The owner is seeking consideration from the Council of more than a one-month adjustment. Should
the Council wish to consider and/or grant the owner adjustment for additional months, staff recommends an adjustment for all billing periods in FY21 until the leak was fixed; billing
for October usage (11/12/2020 billing period) through January usage (02/12/2021 billing period).
