These proposed revisions <br />came again at the request of the Public Works Department. The Staff is in the process of <br />installing new meter reading equipment and need to be able to have access to resident's <br />homes in order to install the equipment. As to be expected gaining permission to have <br />access to some homes has been difficult. The Public Works Department is asking the <br />Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council to make revisions to the sump <br />pump ordinance that stipulates a fine if after four formal attempts to gain the <br />homeowner's permission to access their home in order to install the new equipment. <br /> <br />The reason that we are placing these revisions in the sump pump ordinance is because as <br />a part of the City's sump pump ordinance there is language in place that requires the <br />homeowner to allow staff access to residential property for the purpose of insuring that <br />the homeowner's sump pump is instalJed correctly and that it is not discharging water <br />into the sanitary sewer system. The revisions that are being requested for the installation <br />of water metering equipment will be used also as a part of the City's ongoing sump pump <br />inspection plan. <br /> <br />I <br />--- <br /> <br />.4 <br />
