Deer River City Councilor Chris Reed asked Monday how the City of Deer River plans to confront residents who are not receiving water services but are using the sewer service. Reed mentioned, at the regular city council meeting Monday, there are cases where the residents carry water in and utilize the city sewer to get rid of it.
City Administrator Mark Box suggested having Deer River City Attorney Andy Shaw send a letter to inform the parties that they need to stop or be charged with theft of services. If the residents donât stop, Box said it would then become a law enforcement issue. Â
