Workshop Memorandum 16-009
Date: January 12, 2016
Subject: Discussion Regarding a Disputed Invoice for the Installation of a New
Water Service at 8290 Overview Court, Yucaipa - Mr. Ralph Monge
On January 4, 2016 the Yucaipa Valley Water District received a request from Ralph Monge to
address the Board of Directors regarding the installat ion cost of a water service to property located
at 8290 Overview Court, Yucaipa.
The Yucaipa Valley Water District
requires a $3,500 deposit for water
service installations prior to District
staff scheduling the work. The water
service installations are performed
on a time and material basis, with
any monies remaining from the
deposit refunded to the customer
and any shortages for the cost of
installation to be invoiced to the
customer. Using a time and material
invoicing system ensures that the
costs performed for new services are
not subsidized by the existing
customers.
Mr. Monge deposited the required
amount of $3,500 with the District for
the installation of the water services
on October 29, 2015, and the work
was completed on December 17,
2015.
Upon receipt of the invoice (copy
attached) for an additional
$3,804.75, Mr. Monge contacted
District staff requesting an
explanation for the additional expenses. District staff reviewed the costs and confirmed that all
the costs were valid and pertinent to the job. Mr. Monge was advised of his option to address the
Board of Directors on this matter and subsequently requested a meeting with the board at the
next workshop.
