Currently, the Department of Public Works, Wastewater Management Division, has no means by which to force payment of delinquent fees. Because we do not have the ability to withhold sewer service, our delinquent fees have been a major revenue loss for the County. We have discussed and coordinated this amendment with the Department of Water Supply who concur with our proposal. Under separate cover, we are transmitting the proposed ordinance to the Public Works Committee Chair for introduction. Your favorable consideration of this request would be greatly appreciated. Should you have any concerns, please contact us. DONNA FAY t. KIYOSAK .E. APPROVED: Chief Engineer PHEN K. AMASHIRO MAYOR cc: Public Works Committee Chair (w/attach) WWD GDOiCi. DTO. _ _ nb ro.
