Earlier this month, the Plymouth Board of Public Works and Safety and the Common Council approved a pair of financial resolutions, addressing uncollectable utility accounts and securing funds for a local demolition project.
During their meeting, the Board of Public Works and Safety approved a resolution to officially write off 21 delinquent and uncollectable utility bills from 2023. The unpaid accounts totaled $2,779.11, plus an additional $88.84 in administrative fees.
The written-off bills covered various city services, including water, wastewater, garbage, stormwater, and public hydrants. According to city records, the individual unpaid balances ranged from a low of just $1.73 to a high of $652.94.
Despite the write-offs, the city maintains an exceptionally high utility collection rate. The Plymouth Clerk-Treasurer’s office reported collecting over $5.8 million in payments in 2023, successfully collecting 99.95% of all bills issued to residents.
In a separate action, the Plymouth Common Council approved a resolution authorizing a $50,000 transfer of funds. The money will be moved from the city’s General Fund into the Unsafe Building Fund.
City officials stated that the transferred funds are specifically earmarked for the upcoming remediation and demolition of "The Pointe," a property located at 309 Gibson Street.
