Upon recommendation of Debra N.

BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
The Detroit Water and Sewerage Department first created collection rules and procedures in January 17, 1979, and revised same over the subsequent 23 years. This Board last revised the rules and procedures on January 22, 2003. Over the course of approximately 18 months, this Honorable Body reviewed, revised and enacted policies related to Customer Service, Finance, Administration, and Information Technology that supersede all prior policies, rules and guidelines in the Interim Collection Rules and Procedures document.
To eliminate any source of confusion amongst employees, leadership or the public at large, it is important for the Board to definitively state that the Interim Collection Rules and Procedures document is no longer in effect and hereby rescinded.
