Explanation
BACKGROUND: The Department of Public Utilities recommends reimbursement to Ideal Investment Properties LTD, 2130 Refugee Rd, Columbus, Ohio 43207, account number 146614-1183366, for over-payment of sewer usage and clean river charges.
Currently, the Department of Public Utilities bills Ideal Investment Properties, LTD for sewer services, however their property at 2130 Refugee Road, Columbus, Ohio 43207 utilizes a private sewer treatment plant. A private sewer treatment plant is not inspected by, nor is required to have a permit from the City of Columbus, Department of Public Utilities.
Ideal Investment Properties, LTD contacted the Department of Public Utilities and advised the department billing section that the property included a private sewer treatment plant. The department investigated and confirmed that the property was not using the city sewer system to dispose of sewage and therefore recommends reimbursement of sewer usage and clean river charges to the customer.
The account was adjusted from 11/24/2006 to 11/26/2014 resulting in a credit of $115,984.39. Subsequent customer billings have reduced the customer credit to a total of $108,921.40.
It is requested 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 water and sewer 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.
