SANITARY SEWER FEES OF $127.50 TO MARVA JOLLY
SUMMARY:
This Resolution authorizes the City of Pueblo to refund overpaid sanitary sewer fees to Marva
Jolly.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
None
BACKGROUND:
The Wastewater Department recently received a written request from Marva Jolly, the owner of
the property located at 1429 Wabash Avenue. Ms. Jolly is seeking a refund on his sewer charge
due to a water leak during the period in which the sewer average is calculated. Although the leak
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. Ms. Jolly is
requesting the refund of wastewater fees in the amount of $127.50 for the charges from March
2020 thru October 2020.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The refund of $127.50 will be paid from the Claim Settlement Fund, Account number
5254110055007. Funds are available and have been appropriated.
