It was business as usual at the Hopkinsville City Council meeting Tuesday evening, where council approved changes to several ordinances.
Council approved changes to the Wastewater Collection and Treatment ordinance, which includes adding definitions for terms, including limitations to incompatible pollutants and making it so all food service establishments must comply with the regulations pertaining to oils and grease. Changes were also approved to the Natural Gas System ordinance, which includes prohibiting unauthorized persons to tamper with meters in any way, making it so residential and industrial gas customers connecting to the system have 90 days to do so, and adding definitions to certain terms.
Hopkinsville Water and Environmental Authority CEO Derrick Watson says the changes could open the possibility of providing natural gas to Fort Campbell in the future.
The rates remain the same at $15 per month for residential customers, $50 per month for commercial customers and $400 per month for industrial customers—plus the cost of service on each. The full text of all ordinances can be viewed on file in the City Clerk’s Office at the Municipal Building on South Virginia Street.
In other action, council approved a municipal order creating incentives for Sivley Trace Section Four housing, as DIS4, LLC intends to construct a development containing single family homes off of Sivley Road.
Council also recognized Johnny Davis, who recently retired from his long time position with the local Air Evac system.
