VIA: Clyde Bishop, City Clerk
FROM: Andra Ahrens, Director Wastewater
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY OF PUEBLO TO CREDIT
SANITARY SEWER FEES OF $245.60 TO ALI MILLER
SUMMARY:
This Resolution authorizes the refund of erroneously collected sanitary sewer fees in the
amount of $245.60. From July 2025 to December 2025, charges for sanitary sewer fees
were applied to the consumption of water that was not discharged to the sanitary sewer
system.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
None
BACKGROUND:
The Wastewater Department received a request for Ali Miller, located at 5048 Buchanan
Dr., seeking a refund of sanitary sewer charges. Malicious intent by a third -party tenant
misrepresented water consumption during the adjustment period which resulted in an
inflated sewer average set for the year.
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. Ali Miller
is requesting a refund of sanitary sewer fees in the amount of $245.60 for charges from
July 2025 to December 2025.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The refund of $245.60 will be credited to the customer's utilities account #305861-
129424.
