The December meeting of the Woodland Hills Sanitary District was called to order at 6:31PM. In attendance were: Randy Alexander, Evan Hutchings, Carol Crozman, Beth Haivala, Tyler Trupe and Ed Striebel. Lois Lund was absent.

Secretary’s Report: Randy asked if everyone had received and read the November minutes. There were only a couple of typos to correct. Beth made a motion to approve the minutes, seconded by Tyler and approved 5-0.

Income Report: Total water income for November was $7299.89. We had a net loss of ( $898.79 ). The first payment on Loan #1 to First National Bank was made in the amount of $5004.71 out of our account. Randy made a motion to approve the Income Report seconded by Beth and approved 5-0.

Water Report: There were repairs done to the chlorinator last month in the amount of $241.91. Ed suggested that we discuss the purchase of a digital chlorinator. This will help in the diagnosis of chlorine intake and is also easier to repair. The board voted 5-0 to purchase a digital chlorinator the next time ours breaks down.

The first billing on our new system was sent out on Nov. 15. There were several customers with very large water bills. All of these lines have been investigated and also checked the new tie-ins to any work that had taken place in the last year. All of the leaks were on service lines.

Addition to Water Policy:

If a customer has a water leak on their line, the water overage is waived for that month and their average water useage will be charged (to be determined by Lois). The leak must be repaired within the month. If the repair is not made, the customer will be responsible all water usage/loss going forward per month.
