3 issues in water utilities with high priority
Water/Sewer Rates, PFAS Settlement Funds, and Resident Meter Concerns
A resident told the commission he and neighbors still haven't received their promised $150 water bill vouchers; the city manager directed him to the deputy finance director, saying many checks were printed for pickup and never claimed, and are now being mailed.
East-side low water pressure and meter covers
A resident reported widespread low water pressure complaints on the east side and asked who pays when plastic water meter covers crack. The city manager said normal wear-and-tear breaks are replaced free; vehicle damage is on the homeowner.
Flooding, Maple Run and stormwater management
A decades-old pipe from Fort Lauderdale's Melrose Park drainage clogs and contributes to Lauderhill flooding. The new agreement lets Fort Lauderdale clean its own debris through a Lauderhill manhole — no new water, no cost to Lauderhill.
