Montpelier Reviews $34,130.84 in Utility Billing Issues
From the Montpelier Board of Works and Safety meeting on November 12, 2026
Montpelier reviewed four utility-billing issues totaling $34,130.84 and approved separate requests to reduce wastewater charges to average usage Nov. 12.
Nearly $28,000 of the utility-issues total came from a clerical meter-entry mistake rather than a leak. The remaining issues involved a city-side leak and two incorrectly read meters. The total concerned customer billing issues, not a payment for utility construction.
The Board of Works also reviewed two written requests for wastewater-bill relief. One involved the Montpelier Church of Christ property at 524 S. Washington St.
Both requests concerned water reported not to have entered the sewer system. The board voted to adjust the sewer charges back to average usage.
