NEWTON: 7:28 PM The Newton Water Board met tonight in a special called meeting.
The board did not have a Chairman. A former long time councilman, Allen Cole, was the Chairman of the Water Board. Newton Mayor Bill Pruett and members of the Newton Town Council voted Cole off the Water Board.
The water board was then a ship with no Captain. The water bills were estimated and not read. The excuse given tonight was the Water Board did not have any people to read the meters.
After estimating the meters and then reading the meters people ended up with large water bills. The Water Clerk has been fielding a large amount of calls with people cussing her out and she has been getting instructions from various leaders of the City of Newton. The Water Clerk asked for one boss.
The Water Board voted for Danny, last name unknown, as Chairman. He is the only boss to water clerk.
The water board voted to give anyone with a water bill in excess of $ 60.00, three months to pay their bill if they come into the city and request it.
