‘I’ll probably never get to see my son again’ Jacob Julick appears in court, mom speaks out Rachel Berry Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Police shut down Dixie Highway in Erlanger for hours June 6 after declaring an “active situation.” Police said a man, later identifi ed as Jacob Julick, jumped out of a car at the Speedway gas station during a traffic stop and shot a gun at two officers. CHRIS MAYHEW/THE ENQUIRER

Shots fi red, 80-mph police chase, chimney hideout:

How fugitive was caught after 3 weeks Jacob Julick faces eight charges, including three counts of attempted murder of police offi cer Chris Mayhew Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

After a June 6 traffi c stop where police said they were shot at in Northern Kentucky, a three-week drama unfolded.

Before it ended there was a dangerous highspeed chase on city streets and Jacob Julick was captured inside a chimney in Cincinnati.

Armed and dangerJulick ous was how police described the 27-year-old man for 18 days afterward.

Julick faces eight charges in Kenton County including three counts of attempted murder of police offi cer. If convicted on all charges, he faces Kentucky's maximum prison sentence of 70 years.

On Tuesday, June 25, U.S. Marshals ended Julick's time as a fugitive when they took him into custody without anyone being injured after a SWAT standoff at a West Side Cincinnati house.

Shots fi red June 6: Julick was a passenger in a car pulled over in an Erlanger gas station lot by police for a traffi c violation when he jumped out and fi red gunshots at two offi cers, said Erlanger Police detective Kyle Thornberry.

He ran into a wooded area behind the gas station and wasn't seen again.

Police said he was armed with a 9mm pistol that was not recovered.

Police declared an active situation and shut down Dixie Highway for several hours. The two offi cers shot at, who conducted the traffi c stop, work for Lakeside Park-Crestview Hills Police Authority.

How to submit news

As soon as Jacob Julick appeared on screen for his court hearing, his mom started crying.

She held her hand over her mouth as she looked at her son through the screen, as he listened to the charges against him from prison.

"I'm totally devastated," said Mary Julick, after the arraignment. "I'll probably never get to see my son again in the fl esh for the rest of my natural born life."

His mom had tried to reach him since June 6, when he reportedly shot at police in Erlanger. She received no response until Tuesday, June 25, when he called her and said, "I'm surrounded by police mom, and I don't know what to do. They've got me surrounded."

She told him to turn himself in, so he asked her to call the police. Mary said she was standing a few houses down during the whole SWAT standoff .

"It was the hardest thing I have ever done in my life not knowing the outcome," she said. "I was very relieved when he was apprehended safely, and no offi cers were hurt; he wasn't hurt."

Julick's hearing Jacob Julick appeared in court Thursday, June 27, with a bond set at $1 million.

Julick was arrested Tuesday, June 25 after a SWAT standoff with police.

He was eventually found hiding in a chimney in the attic.

He had been on the run since June 6 when he reportedly shot at police offi cers during a traffi c stop in Erlanger.

Julick is being charged in two separate cases. The fi rst is possession of a handgun by a convicted felon.

The second case includes three counts of attempted murder of police, two counts of wanton endangerment, fl eeing police, fi rst-degree persistent felony off ender and attempted murder.

A wanted man June 10: Photos of Julick's tattoos and one of him taken inside the Florence Wal-Mart in the hours prior to the June 6 traffi c stop were released by Erlanger police, the lead agency in the case. One photo showed a large tattoo of Cov Honkey inside the outline of the shape of the Commonwealth of Kentucky on Julick's neck. KAOZ was a tattoo on the other side of his neck. LilCuz was tattooed on his wrist. He had a star tattooed on his forearm. Police asked for the public to be on the lookout.

he turned onto a dead end section of 38th Street. He drove more than 60 miles per hour on narrow residential streets and 40 mph through the Latonia shopping center parking lot, according to an arrest warrant.

The fugitive drove onto a sidewalk to go around traffi c at one point to get away. Police gave up the pursuit on Winston Avenue so as not to endanger lives.

"Julick had exceeded 80 mph through traffi c, creating such a danger to the public that police could not continue," stated the warrant.

Later that day, police in Campbell County said they spotted Julick on U.S. 27 passing Campbell County High School near Alexandria. The offi cer was not able to fi nd Julick after initially spotting him, Thornberry said.

'Reverse Santa' June 25: U.S. Marshals, acting on a lead, spotted Julick outside a house in the 3100 block of McHenry Avenue in Westwood. His mother, Mary Julick, said her son called her for the fi rst time since the June 6 traffi c stop asking her what to do. She said she told him to surrender.

Instead, an afternoon-long SWAT standoff ensued. Shortly before 7:30 p.m. he was captured.

Offi cers found he had climbed three fl oors up inside a chimney from the fi rst fl oor. He was in the attic.

Police found Julick inside the chimney covered in soot with no shirt on and wearing a pair of jeans.

"It was like a reverse Santa Claus," Thornberry said.

June 26: Julick was moved from Cincinnati to Kenton County Detention Center where he remains awaiting trial.

Julick appears in court June 27: His mother started crying in a courtroom in Covington as soon as he appeared on a video conference TV screen from the jail.

Julick could spend up to 70 years in jail if convicted of all charges.

He is charged with three counts of attempted murder of police offi cer, convicted felon in possession of a handgun, fi rst-degree persistent felony off ender, two counts of fi rst-degree wanton endangerment and fi rst-fi rst degree fl eeing or evading police.

For Northern Kentucky police, relief knowing Jacob Julick is in custody is here.

"A lot of hard work and late hours went into locating him," Thornberry said. "We are happy no one was hurt during his apprehension, which was our biggest fear."

Fort Mitchell apartment building controversy: ‘Close friendships,’ ‘inappropriate’ development, potential school impact Julia Fair Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The fate of a Northern Kentucky man's businesses deal was in the hands of a government entity he heads.

It was June 6, at a meeting of the Kenton County Planning Commission. That commission was weighing in on a zoning change needed to build an apartment complex in Fort Mitchell.

The co-investor in the complex? Paul Darpel, the chairman of the planning commission.

Darpel recused himself from the vote.

He was open about his role in it; he and a friend from college were the investors.

"I don't do anything behind closed doors," he told The Enquirer.

But the dual role - chairman and investor - nonetheless has raised questions about the apartment complex, which had already caused some consternation from neighbors worried about its impact on schools.

When former Fort Mitchell Mayor Bill Goetz caught wind of the application, he warned Jeff Bethell - who represents Fort Mitchell on the planning commission - the situation smelled, according to emails obtained by The Enquirer via public records request.

“Given his capacity as chairman and the alliances he has established with various members of the commission I seriously question whether the commission as a whole can render an unbiased See APARTMENTS, Page 4A

decision on the matter,” Goetz wrote. “I don’t mean to question the integrity any members of the commission, but close friendships are close friendships.”

To “eliminate any question of impropriety,” Goetz suggested the entire 19member commission refrain from making a recommendation and leave it to the Fort Mitchell City Council to make its decision without the commission's input.

The luxury apartment complex Darpel partnered with his friend from college to build a luxury 106-unit apartment complex in the top-rated Beechwood School District.

Despite an unfavorable report from county staff about Darpel's request and questions about an appearance of a confl ict of interest, The Kenton County Planning Commission recommended the zoning change be approved.

The Fort Mitchell City Council has the fi nal say at its July 1 meeting since the land is within city limits.

The records reviewed by The Cincinnati Enquirer did not show if Bethell replied to the former mayor's email.

Darpel and his friend, David Noll, hope to build three buildings to make a 106-unit apartment complex at 260 Grandview Drive in Fort Mitchell. They estimate a one-bedroom unit could cost around $1,100 a month but it is unclear how much the development project will cost to build.

The area is not zoned for that type of development. For Darpel and Noll to be successful in their business venture, they need the area to be re-zoned from a single-family zone and a professional offi ce zone to a multi-family residential zone.

At the June 6 Planning Commission meeting, Darpel's fellow commissioners reviewed the application. Darpel himself was not there, since he'd recused

himself from the decision-making process.

The Planning and Development Services of Kenton County - the professional staff - recommended that Darpel and his friend's request be denied.

The site is designated for commercial use, the staff report reads. The report called the proposed use "inappropriate."

The report cited the comprehensive plan which suggests that the impact on schools be considered during decisionmaking processes. Data provided supports parent concern that the schools may not be able to handle quick growth.

The Beechwood Elementary School, which is where any kids living in the proposed complex would attend, has room for 40 more kids before it hits capacity, according to the report. The high school can enroll 89 more kids.

But the commission's lawyer, Matt Smith, cautioned the board in using that information in its decision-making process.

He argues the Planning Commission would be violating the Fair Housing Act if the project was turned down because families with school-age children may live there.

Overcrowding concerns Beechwood School District parents

worry the quick development could lead to overcrowded classrooms in the elementary and high school that near capacity.

“Overcrowded schools are not good for kids,” said Anne Thompson, a Beechwood Schools parent in an interview with The Cincinnati Enquirer.

Thompson is on the Beechwood School site-based committee for the elementary school. As a member of that committee, Thompson knows that the grades 4, 5 and 6 were at capacity for the 2018-2019 school year. That includes students who pay out-of-district tuition, Thompson said.

Thompson said it's “unethical,” for Darpel to put the commissioners in the position to vote for a business deal he’s affi liated with.

Darpel knew the impact on schools would be the biggest obstacle in obtaining the zoning change approval, he said in an interview. So, he said he approached the Beechwood School District about redistricting the land to be in the Kenton County School District.

“I’m not even sure if our board can make that vote legally,” said Superintendent of Beechwood Independent Schools Mike Stacy.

Stacy expressed concern over the “political fallout” that could follow that maneuver and added that it’s “not

something counties do.”

His concerns, in addition to the parents’, is the infrastructure around the school district. They ask if the roads and sidewalks could handle the growth that the complex would bring.

Mike Schoech’s daughter will start 10th grade this fall at Beechwood High School. He’s not against development or new housing, he said.

“It just has to be planned smartly in conjunction with the city and the school district,” he said. If the city is anticipating new families coming to the area, then the city should be able to plan for it to accommodate all students, he said

Conflict of interest concerns Darpel believed The Kenton County Planning Staff ’s unfavorable review of his application had something to do with his title of chairman.

“I think staff does a good job for Kenton County,” said Darpel in an interview with The Enquirer. “I think they were quite frankly probably maybe overly scrutinized because of my position. I do feel that way.”

Darpel has been on the commission for at least 16 years, he says. He’s also a real estate and development lawyer and puts together economic development deals for clients.

When those clients need to appear in front of the commission he chairs, he recuses himself, he says.

This time, he wanted to be an investor and doesn’t think his position should ban his involvement. He says it would have been “easy” to keep his name off the application but wanted to be transparent about his role.

“I don’t do anything behind closed doors, I don’t do anything that way. This particular project is a great project and I wanted to be a part of it,” said Darpel.

You can try this fresh blueberry pie two ways Fresh blueberry pie two ways Blind bake the crust First, start out with a basic crust that has been “blind baked.” What that means is the crust is baked ahead of time and simply fi lled. For step by step instructions on blind baking, check out my abouteating.com site.

So now that you’ve got the crust baked, here’s how to make the delicious, and might I say, very pretty, fi lling.

Filling Ingredients 4 cups fresh clean blueberries ⁄ 2 cup plus 2 tablespoons water, divided

1

2 tablespoons cornstarch ⁄ 2 cup sugar or bit more to taste

1

1-2 teaspoons lemon juice

to a boil. Lower heat and simmer until berries start to burst and juices start to thicken. Smoosh berries against the side of pan, until most are crushed and this will help the process along.

Whisk cornstarch and 2 tablespoons water together. Stirring constantly, add to blueberries, along with sugar and lemon juice.

Simmer a couple of minutes or until mixture becomes translucent and slightly thickened. Take it off heat immediately and fold in remaining 3 cups berries.

Spoon into baked, cooled pie shell.

Let sit at room temperature for at least 2 hours before serving to set up. Yes, that’s right. Do not refrigerate. Make it in the morning and serve in the evening.

Instructions

Serve with sweetened whipped cream or streusel topping.

Measure out 1 cup blueberries. Put in pan with 1⁄ 2 cup water. Cover and bring

Refrigerate leftover pie.

Blueberries are in season! I still remember fondly (some of you will, too) taking the little ones to Rouster’s Farm in Clermont County when they were still open to pick blueberries. If you have a source, do support those farmers and pick to your heart’s content.

Fresh blueberries can be frozen, too.

This pie originated with friend and excellent cook and baker, Carol Ta-

bone. What I love is the fi lling is cooked on the stove.

Carol serves her fresh blueberry pie with whipped cream.

Every once in a while, I like a streusel topping. The streusel topping is baked separately ahead of time on a cookie sheet and just sprinkled on top – pretty clever, huh? Let me know which topping you decide to use.

Freeze blueberries the right way Freeze unwashed in single layer on cookie sheet, uncovered, until hard.

Pour into containers. To use, place in colander and rinse.

Crunchy, buttery streusel topping

Instructions

Can be made several days ahead and stored in refrigerator.

Preheat oven to 350. Just whisk dry ingredients, pour in butter and toss with fork until crumbly. I like to leave some big lumps in, along with little ones.

Sprinkle on fi nished pie.

Ingredients ⁄ 4 cup flour

3

3 tablespoons light brown sugar, packed 1 tablespoon sugar 5 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled a bit

Pour onto baking pan and bake 8-10 minutes or so, stirring once. Keep an eye on it — streusel turns golden fairly quick after the 8 minutes.

Cool and sprinkle on pie.

Tip: Excellent for fruit pies.Try adding a shake of cinnamon.

NKU’s Hannah Edelen named as Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education candidate NKU student Hannah Edelen has been recommended to serve as the student representative on Kentucky’s Committee on Postsecondary Education (CPE) for 2019-2020.

Kentucky’s governor appoints the council members, which is comprised of

13 citizen members, one faculty member and one student member. The commissioner of education serves as an ex-offi cio member. A supporting state agency is attached to the governor’s offi ce and run by the president, who is appointed by council membership. CPE is charged with guiding the reform eff orts envisioned by state policy leaders in the Kentucky Postsecondary Education Improvement Act of 1997. CPE has multiple responsibilities to ensure a well-coordinated and effi cient postsecondary and adult education system.

Edelen will graduate in 2020 with dual degrees in integrated studies and Edelen communications studies.

Her major focus areas are child abuse and educational attainment. She recently completed her term as the Student Government Association president and is involved with the Kappa Delta sorority and NKU’s Offi ce of Government, Corpo-

rate and Foundation Engagement. She is a 2019 Kentucky Henry Clay Scholar and is fi nishing her term as a member of the Board of Regents at NKU. She is currently completing a capstone project by examining inequities in education across the Commonwealth.

Through her research, she seeks to help all students access environments that are conducive to a quality education.

“Being nominated for this position was more than just what felt like an honor to me. It meant that others recognized the work that I have been doing in my community and across Kentucky with regard to access to higher education,” said Edelen. “It means that others believed that I could be a strong representative of what they wanted to see in the Commonwealth.”

Edelen is one of three Kentucky students nominated. Chase Law student Sebastian Torres serves as the current student representative.

Sports She played 5 varsity sports, was good at each one Here’s how one Northern Kentucky high school graduate earned 18 varsity sports letters James Weber

Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

VILLA HILLS - After a successful soccer career at Villa Madonna Academy, Brooke Meier made a last-minute decision to play volleyball for her senior year in the fall of 2018. Meier wanted to be teammates with her sister Camdyn, a freshman last fall, on the VMA volleyball squad. Brooke Meier was named second team all-conference in Division III for her eff orts.

Volleyball was the fi fth varsity sport for Meier, who graduated this spring with 18 varsity letters. She has been honored by the Kentucky High School Athletic Association with the "Triple Threat Award" recognizing athletes who participate in high school athletics during the entire school year. This year, she was a starter in basketball, and also played softball and track during the spring.

As an athlete at a small school, Meier felt the support of her coaches and teachers. VMA had 23 athletes honored with the Triple Threat Award. “(It’s) the fact that they didn’t pigeonhole you as a one-sport athlete,” Meier said. “They let me do all of them. I started senior year playing soccer and I just wasn't enjoying it as much. And my little sister played volleyball. She’s my best friend. And the volleyball coach said we’d be happy to have you.”

Meier was a former fi rst team allconference pick in soccer, and during the 2016 season she had 12 shutouts, including 10 in a row, to dot the KHSAA record books.

In basketball, she had fi ve varsity letters and was an all-conference player, scoring 1,000 career points. She was a thrower in track, winning conference championships.

“My 1,000-point game was one of my favorite things,” she said. “The student section isn’t always super crowded but that night there were so many people there. Everybody was really excited and pumped up.”

Her best sport is softball, which she will play at Mount St. Joseph and major in forensic science. In 2018, she had a lifetime opportunity to play in the Netherlands.

“Brooke is a highly motivated student of the game with a great work ethic who has proven herself as a confi dent/passionate/charismatic leader on the playing fi eld and in the classroom,” said her father Dave Meier, head softball coach.

This past season, Meier hit .602 with 43 RBI, 48 runs scored and 34 stolen bases, while also being the main pitcher for the team, compiling a 2.49 ERA. She was conference player of the year and led the Vikings to the team championship in the NKAC. Meier focused on softball in the summer because she knew it would be the best one for her to play in college due to her versatility on the diamond.

This past spring, she balanced both softball and track.

Now that she’s graduated, she will miss her time at Villa.

“It was something where I didn’t think I would be able to do everything but Villa was able to work with me and let me play all those diff erent sports,” she said. “When I was in it I didn’t appreciate what all of that meant, but now that I’ve had a while to look back on it, I realize how special it was.”

Ky man gives out ‘free dad hugs’ at Cincy Pride Scott Wherle lifts up thousands on Facebook Andrea Reeves Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

It all started with a group text with friends sharing an article about dads giving out free hugs at Pride events across the country.

Half serious, Scott Wherle, of Taylor Mill said he was going to do the same thing. Friends urged him on.

So he had a friend make the T-shirt in rainbow lettering that said "Free dad hugs."

Wherle said he spent eight hours at the June 22 Pride parade and events in Cincinnati, where he gave out too many hugs to count. And the reaction since has been overwhelming. Wherle wrote a post on Facebook detailing his day and that post has resulted in 16,000 reactions, 2,000 friend requests and countless messages.

And counting.

"You would not believe the messages I am getting. The fact that people are sending me their stories. It's crazy," he said.

"Clearly there's still so many people out there that need a hug – that need someone to say 'It's going to be OK.'" Wherle left Pride with so many stories, but a few stick out in his mind, including two girls whom he approached after making eye contact with them.

"I went over and said, 'You look like you want a hug.' She whispered in my ear, 'Our dads hate us.' And it just tore me up."

Scott Wherle of Taylor Mill and daughter Kenna in Saturday’s Cincinnati Pride Parade. PROVIDED

But the part that really struck him more so than running around and giving out hugs was walking down the street with people on every side cheering people along.

"That was the thing that really uplifted me. There's so much hate in the world and to have these people lining the streets," he said.

Despite his overstuff ed Facebook Messenger, Wherle is determined to meet the challenge of responding to every one of them.

"I don't want to leave it here. I want to keep encouraging people," he said, then

excitedly rattled off several ideas whirling in his head of what he wants to do next. "I always had these feelings and leanings, but now having done this and seeing the impact of it and how the Facebook post has blown up and it makes me want to do more.

"I don't want to wait another year. I don't want to wait another day if I can avoid it.”

With the statistics ... you never know who needs help to get out of that hole," Wherle said.

Scott Dittman, a dad whose "free dad hugs" have gone viral, was recently fea-

tured in a USA TODAY story.

The Pennsylvania dad, wearing a "Free Dad Hugs" shirt he bought on Amazon, gave more than 700 hugs at the Pittsburgh Pride Parade last week, off ering tenderness to those who wanted it and to many who seemed they needed it, USA TODAY reported.

The statistics are grim for LGBTQ people who suff er family rejection: "According to research from the Family Acceptance Project, lesbian, gay and bisexual young adults who reported higher levels of family rejection during adolescence were: 8.4 times more likely to report having attempted suicide.

5.9 times more likely to report high levels of depression.

3.4 times more likely to use illegal drugs.

3.4 times more likely to report having engaged in unprotected sexual intercourse.

Advocates say parents who affi rm their children's identity can save their lives. When family is accepting of an LGBTQ adolescent or young adult, it can provide a lasting protective infl uence, decreasing the risk of substance abuse, depression and suicidal behavior.

"Just one affi rming family member can make all the diff erence," said Liz Owen, director of communications for PFLAG National, the fi rst and largest organization for the parents, families and allies of LGBTQ people."

The Facts About Hearing Loss ADVERTISEMENT

Hearing loss is one of the most common disabilities in the country, affecting more than 35 million Americans.

And it impacts nearly every aspect of their lives: professional, social and personal. Yet, the average person with hearing loss waits a full seven years before seeking help. We’re trying to change that, because effective hearing aids can vastly improve people’s quality of life. Here are the most common myths about hearing LOSS—and the facts: Myth: If I were suffering from hearing loss, my doctor would know.

Fact: Only 15% of physicians routinely screen their adult patients for hearing loss. So unless you bring acute symptoms to your doctor, he/she is unlikely to test your hearing.

Myth: For people with hearing loss, everything is equally hard to hear.

Fact: This is a common fallacy but completely untrue. A person with hearing loss may have normal hearing in the low tones but severe loss in higher frequencies—the register where women’s and children’s voices tend to be. Some consonants tend to

Hearing Loss and Mental Decline New research has linked hearing loss with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. Scientists from John Hopkins School of Medicine and Brandeis University have shown that people over 60 years old who have hearing loss are a greater risk of mental decline.

One theory of why hearing loss may cause mental decline is the concept of "cognitive load". That is, the brain can only do so many things at once. When someone with normal hearing is listening to speech in a challenging environment like in background noise, he may not hear every sound in a word or every word in a sentence. The brain can fill in the blanks if it has enough of the speech information. A person with a hearing loss typically hears some speech sounds and misses others. This makes for a much more difficult situation for the brain to

handle and increases its work. This is why people with normal hearing may be able to follow two conversations at once or listen to the TV while listening to other people--a task that is very difficult for those with hearing loss.

More frightening are studies that indicate that certain areas of the brain shrink faster when a person has hearing loss. These areas of the brain are very close to those associated with those that are affected with dementia. It may be that when the brain does not receive adequate sound stimulation, the unused neurons shrink--a "use it or lose it" phenomenon.

Untreated hearing loss seems to be a much greater health risk than previously thought.

Other research has linked hearing loss to increased risk of falling.

People with a mild hearing loss are

three times more likely to fall than those with normal hearing. Those with a moderate hearing loss are more than four times more likely to fall. This is of great concern to older Americans. Between 18% and 33% of older hip fracture patients die within 1 year of their fracture and between 25% and 75% of those who are independent before their fracture do not achieve their previous level of independent living within 1 year after their fracture.

The good news is that a preliminary study from Washington University School of Medicine indicates that wearing hearing aids improves balance for people with hearing loss.

be harder to hear than others: these include S, T and H. Myth: If I can cope by turning up the volume and having face-to-face conversations, I should.

Fact: It’s important to know that coping with hearing loss—even if you do it well—can have negative effects on your professional life, your relationships and your brain. It’s not worth straining to hear or using workarounds. The best solution is to get a hearing checkup and treat any hearing loss.

Hearing is essential to healthy relationships

A 2010 survey found that in marriages where a spouse has a hearing loss both partners suffer.

It is frustrating to not be able to be heard and understood. It may seem that your spouse is intentionally ignoring you when she actually can't hear you. This can lead to many relationship problems. Some of the study participants said that the hearing loss had actually made them consider leaving the marriage.

This is especially concerning since over one third of people over 65 have significant hearing loss. "The years after 65 are supposed to be some of the best for relationships. Spouses who are empty-nesters should be enjoying each other in retirement activities and enjoying the grandchildren." says Dr. Scott Beall Au.D., the owner of 38 local Miracle-Ear® hearing aid centers. "Every day we see the stress that hearing loss causes in the family; from hurt feelings, to feelings of inadequacy, to deep fears about mental decline. The intimacy that should be there in a marriage just erodes away. It doesn't have to be this way. When we address the problem with proper hearing solutions, their lives just light up. That's why we say that we help people 'Listen to Life' again."

Proposed Tariff Original Sheet No. 4 - Section I, paragraph 3: 3. Upon approval of a Water Service Application, whether Residential or Commercial, water service will be connected in accordance with 807 KAR 5:006 by ensuring the water is turned on at the meter which services the address listed on the application as either the “Service Line Address” or “Property Address” on the Residential or Commercial Application for Water Service, respectively. The applicant, or co-applicant, will be responsible for all charges, including, but not limited to, the fixed service charge as shown in Section II – Retail Water Rates 3. Fixed Service Charge for the respective meter size and interval billing period from the date water is connected and available for use, and every billing period thereafter until water service is terminated.

Proposed Tariff Original Sheet No. 5 - Section I, paragraph 15: 15. Upon customer request, the District will provide testing of the water coming into the structure because of a water quality concern with unaltered water produced by the District.

The tests offered are limited to analytical methods that can be performed in-house by staff.

The primary analyses offered are chlorine, Total Coliform, E.coli, and routine chemical parameters (alkalinity, aluminum, calcium, chloride, conductivity, copper, fluoride, hardness, iron, lead, manganese, pH, temperature, turbidity, sodium and sulfate). The necessary testing to investigate the concern with the unaltered, District-produced, water will be determined by the District.

Laboratory testing services deemed to be appropriate by District staff are provided free of charge, provided the water has not undergone additional conditioning, and has not been altered in some manner by the customer.

The number of samples and type of tests performed will be determined by the District based on the possible cause of the concern. A customer will be charged if a request is made to test water that has been altered by the customer, such as a faucet treated by a whole-house filter, a filtered refrigerator tap, or after a water heater.

If a customer requests analyses that are above those deemed necessary by the District, then the customer will be charged for the testing. The District will charge for samples that are part of a lead testing program within a school or daycare. The District will charge other utilities, including the District’s wholesale customers, for analyzing samples collected within the other utility’s or wholesale customer’s system.

The District will charge for tests on samples that are not from District customers, such as those collected from a cistern or private water well.

The District reserves the right to waive charges under special or emergency circumstances.

Water testing performed by the District’s laboratory will be billed under the District’s Invoice Billing Policy – see Section XII. Proposed Tariff Original Sheet No. 11 - Section VIII,

Proposed Tariff Original Sheet No. 11.1 - Section VIII, paragraph 10: 10. Any customer that has had or has two checks returned by the District’s bank for insufficient funds (for any other reason) applicable to any previous or existing District account within a twelve-month time frame must pay charges due via another method of payment for a full twelve-month period beginning with the date of the first returned check.

Proposed Tariff Original Sheet No. 13 - Section X, paragraph 4: 4.

Proposed Tariff Original Sheet No. 14 - Section XII, paragraph 6: 6.

Proposed Tariff Original Sheet No. 14 - Section XII, paragraph 7: 7. The District reserves the right to transfer a customer’s unpaid invoice to the customer’s water account, if an account exists.

In situations where the District is already planning to replace the customer’s existing service connection through a main replacement project or through a maintenance work order, the customer may notify the District of their desire to reduce or enlarge the service connection that serves their property and will only have to pay any additional costs between the replacement cost the District was planning to incur and the cost necessary to reduce or enlarge the service connection.

Proposed Tariff Original Sheet No. 30 - Section XX, paragraph 3: 3. The District reserves the right to transfer a customer’s unpaid fire hydrant fee or any other related fees (such as replacement/repair costs caused by damage or theft) to the customer’s water account, if an account exists.
