SANITARY SEWER FEES OF $293.25 TO DAVID ARCHULETA
SUMMARY:
This Resolution authorizes the City of Pueblo to refund overpaid sanitary sewer fees to
David Archuleta.

BACKGROUND:
The Wastewater Department recently received a written request from David Archuleta,
the owner of the property located at 2206 Coronado Road. Mr. Archuleta is seeking a
refund on his sewer charge due to a broken sprinkler valve during the period in which
the sewer average is calculated. Although the break was detected and repaired in
January of 2020, the increased usage during that time created a very high average to
be used for billing purposes for the remainder of 2020.
Pursuant to City Ordinance 16-6-25, refunds based upon sewer user charges appearing
on billings issued more than ninety (90) days prior to receipt of a written request can
only be authorized by City Council and are limited to a maximum period of two years.
Mr. Archuleta is requesting the refund of wastewater fees in the amount of $293.25 for
the charges from March 2020 thru October 2020.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The refund of $293.25 will be paid from the Claim Settlement Fund, Account number
5254110055007. Funds are available and have been appropriated.
