Council to Hear About Leak Protection Program

BOONE, Iowa---The Boone City Council will hear a new proposal called the "Leak Protection Program" which will offer residents an opportunity to pay an extra fifty cents a month on their water bill to insure against a high water bill caused a leak.  The proposal is just being developed and the City Council's Utility Committee voted 2-1 with Council Member Gary Nystrom voting against proceeding with developing the ordinance at the present time.  The most controversy seems to surround to discussion about including the service on each water bill and giving people the option of opting out of the program.  No final decisions have been made.  The initial presentation will be made to the Council Monday.
