Customer requests: Mr. Floyd Allen (tap 169) requested that his multiple unit become a single unit because he was moving his trailers out. The Board agreed to this after a letter is sent to Mr. Allen stating that all connections to the trailers will have to be sealed off and inspected by the District.
Mr. Lee Weiderman requested that his multiple unit (tap 33) be considered a single unit until the apartments upstairs were able to rent out. The Board denied his request and his tap will remain a multiple unit.
Barbara Emmons (tap 150) had requested that her tap be removed from Bill Wheetley’s property at the last board meeting.
