Sewer Lateral balance is $3,619.23 for the County and $297.02 in the Wilbur Park account.
Trustees reviewed the Sewer Lateral program for Grantwood Village. The Trustees agreed that Wilbur Park should adopt a policy similar.
A sewer lateral spot repair averages $2,000, full repair $5,000. Wilbur Park will continue to cover the street repairs for those whose lateral lines are under the pavement. Bob will draft ordinance calling for public approval. A notice will be sent to all Wilbur Park residents with the details of the Sewer Lateral proposal. Hopefully we can adopt the new policy in December 2021 or January 2022.
County Public Safety balance is $42,816.60. This fund increases $1,300.00 average each month.
