Kelly Crawford researched, documented, and presented a packet for the Commissioners regarding the electrical expenses related to the District owned grinder pumps. Kelly explained the process she uses to calculate each of the electric bills turned in by the resident, showed examples of how the homeowner is not receiving full re-imbursement of their costs, discussed complaints of homeowners that were not made aware that they could turn in their bills by the previous owner for re-imbursement and therefore were paying for the electric themselves, the problem with a homeowner not paying their electric bill for their residence and WE Energies disconnecting service to both the house and grinder pump which poses the possibility of sewerage back-up, and high electric bills indicating a possible problem that could be identified and acted upon quicker.
