SUBJECT: Kip Nelson, 4560/4580 Watertown Road - Change in Septic Billing
Units - Request for Credit
Attachments: - Letter of Request
- Septic Inventory Card
- Guest House CUP Resolution
Kip Nelson, owner of 4580 Watertown Road, has requested that his septic system inspection
program billing be revised from two units to one unit. His request is based on the fact that
both the guest house on his property (which is currently billed as 4560 Watertown Road) and
his residence at 4580, are connected to a single septic system.
In reviewing other similar situations in the City, of which there are just a handful, it would
appear to be consistent to bill just one septic unit to this property.
Mr. Nelson also requests that his past payments for the second unit be credited towards future
septic billings.
I have not attempted to confirm, but will assume for discussion, that Mr. Nelson has been
billed for two units since the septic program began. This may have been an oversight, since
Nelson has not previously brought it to the City's attention, or it may have been a policy
decision made early on. However, based on current practice and policy, we are only billing
one unit for other similar situations staff is aware of on Orono Orchard Road and Fox Street.
I am not familiar with City policies regarding credit or repayment of billings which were
(arguably) in error. The fact that Mr. Nelson did not notify the City of this billing issue until
December 1995, when it should have been fairly obvious to him for many years, is somewhat
confounding.
To resolve the situation I would recommend the following:
1. Since he notified us of the discrepancy in 1995, it would be reasonable to
forgive the 1995 overpayment.
2. Since the 1995 past due billing for the entire property has been certified for
collection with his taxes, bill the entire property no units for 1996 and then
merely one unit for 1997 and thereafter.
