Description
Description | Lakeview entered into a contract with Sustainability Partners LLC to upgrade to smart water meters that can remotely track residential water use. The project requires the town to pay a monthly usage charge of about $40,000, which the town leaders say they cannot afford. The town stopped making payments in July 2025, and the company filed a federal lawsuit seeking nearly $6.8 million in damages. The town is trying to lower the contract's price by arguing it was not legally approved. The project is also under investigation for potential predatory lending practices. |
