City Manager Randy Newlon explained that at the December 2020 regular City Commission meeting he had suggested that the City may also wish to amend the adjustment policy to extend to unexplained or unintended sewer usage and to use the same cap of 15,000 gallons or average consumption for the past 12 months as it is for proven increased water consumption.
