Boulder this week rejected a motion to create a water advisory board, moved to revisit its price for bulk water and decided to apply water sales revenues solely to water meter repair.
At Monday’s City Council meeting, the four-member council and mayor unanimously voted to use the $11,392 collected from the sale of nearly 1.14 million gallons to replace residents’ aging water meters, which City Administrator Brian Bullock has warned could cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.
“What I want to do is pay for the water meters now, so the homeowner is not obligated to do so for the defective water meters,” said councilman Drew Dawson, who introduced the motion.
