LeakBird

I’ve been hearing some concern over one of the water ordinances that we passed on Monday. I’ve heard that a number of landlords were upset about it and I couldn’t understand why until I finally read the story in the paper and (worse) the story on KTVO’s website.

Folks, both of these stories are misleading and leave out a very important fact: We DID NOT add landlord liability for their tenant’s unpaid water bills to the current ordinance. It is ALREADY THERE, in the current ordinance.
