Water Report and Water Committee Report

John Mann reviewed the update to water meters and program for billing. Payments for these two items will be over a 2-year period. The Town of Genoa lawyer James Baker did not see it necessary for any change in the present town water law. Contracts are treated same as regular customers only difference is the taxes are billed separately rather than on their annual tax bills. David Reeves will let the company know of our decision.
