Explanation
BACKGROUND: The Department of Public Utilities recommends reimbursement to North Hamilton Rd Senior Housing LP, 5509 N Hamilton Rd., Columbus, Ohio 43230 (account number 1896663-1387983) for over-payment of water and sewer charges. On May 9, 2014, it was discovered that the meter at this property had a gasket blow out of the outlet side of the meter resulting in a large leak resulting in a larger than normal bill for the customer. The Department of Public Utilities adjusted the account by determining the normal average daily consumption used at this property and reducing the usage caused by the leak. This adjustment resulted in a credit to the account of $41,103.72.
Subsequent customer billings have reduced the customer credit to a total of $37,970.16. The Department of Public Utilities requests that this credit be returned to North Hamilton Rd Senior Housing LP.
It is requested that that this legislation be handled in an emergency manner in order to reimburse the customer at the earliest possible date.
Contract Compliance is not required as this refund is necessary to our customer to whom we have agreed to provide services.
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no budgetary impact because we are returning a portion of funds the customer paid. Revenues are not significantly impacted by this legislation.
