Ned will also check with Keith Feckley of the Light Co. to see about Xmas decorations and what types they have. Water- Mr. Neuzil answered some questions on the water. 1. What if a person uses water for a while and then quits and later wants to get back on? It will cost $100. 2. What if a person pays $25 but doesn't hook on right away? He should hook on within a reasonable length of time. If not then he pays $100. The FHA said for the Town to make sure after a person hooks on that they use only the Town water and not their well water too.
