13-MAR-19 I spoke with Houston Howell over the phone. Mr. Houston will be in contact with the Mayor to discuss the possibility of an additional sewer tap for Mr. McBride.***
19-MAR-19 LKS and VDL visited Mr. McBride's property and it was apparent that the sewer taps had been altered by the resident on this property. It is the resident's responsibility to fix this issue.
