Customer requests: Barbara Emmons has taken Bill Wheetley to court and so tap #150 is in litigation and it is up to our attorney of the course of action to be taken.
Village of Makanda: The Village President, Joanne Simpson, called the office concerned about the $6.00 lien charge for tap #34. She understood that that was included in the $400.00 that was decided upon last meeting. Mr. Brieschke decided that it was best to just credit their account the $6.00 and close the account.
Floyd Allen: A trailer has been moved back onto Mr. Allen’s property after he moved out all the other trailers and became a single unit. A letter was sent to Mr. Allen asking about the trailer and he called the office and said that it was not hooked up to our water and would be moved within the next few weeks, and that he buys and sells trailers and that there will be trailers moved in and out but that none of them will be hooked up. A letter is to be sent confirming that telephone conversation.
