A homeowner in the 600 block of W. Sixth Street's request of the city to waive his sewer fee due to a broken toilet was denied.
Kevin Schmidt addressed the Monticello City Council during their Feb. 19 meeting. He explained that a toilet in his basement, which he hasn't been able to access due to a surgery, had been running unbeknownst to him. Typically, Schmidt uses about 1,000 gallons of water. Due to this issue, the consumption was 169,000 gallons.
His water bill was $726; his sewer bill, $2,237.
