On November 10, 2026, the Loretto Board of Aldermen voted to approve the first reading of an ordinance that aims to establish a water leak relief program. This initiative seeks to amend the city’s utility leak adjustment policy and introduce an insurance program for customers impacted by water leaks.
The proposed program includes a monthly premium ranging from $1.33 to $3.31. This premium will cover up to two water or sewer claims per year, with a maximum payout of $4,000 per claim. The program is designed to assist residents in managing the financial burden associated with unexpected water leaks.
During the meeting, a representative from a Crossville company presented the program’s details. The introduction of this insurance program is intended to enable the city to recoup costs related to leaks, providing a structured approach to addressing such incidents.
For the ordinance to become effective, it must undergo a second reading. This step is crucial for implementing the water leak relief program, as it will finalize the details and allow for the program to be officially adopted by the city.
The establishment of this program reflects the Board’s commitment to addressing the needs of Loretto residents concerning utility management. By providing a financial safety net, the city aims to alleviate some of the stress that can arise from unexpected utility issues.
As the ordinance progresses, residents will be looking for updates on the second reading and any additional details regarding the program’s implementation. The Board of Aldermen’s decision marks a significant step in enhancing support for residents facing utility challenges.
