Hi Debbie,

We checked into the business license code and it doesn’t allow us to waive or reduce the business license fees.

I can tell you that as of today, the contractor has successfully been able to get all of the construction aspects of the sewer line completed and we are finalizing testing. This is good news because it had been the single biggest hold up on the project. The Contractor has a plumber coming in starting the first of next week to move all of the services over and then will finalize the connection of the waterline. This is anticipated to take 2-3 days to complete. We are making sure that all testing requirements are met simultaneously so we can move to paving and closeout of the project. Paving is still scheduled for Nov 22nd and, if needed, Nov 25th.

Again, I and my staff are truly sorry for all of the delays you’ve gone through in this project. It’s small consolation but due to the liquidated damages assessed, the rate payers of the sewer and water system will not be paying full price for this project. That translates to the money being used on other projects and lowers our potential needs for rate increases in the future.
