The mayor of the city also serves as the water superintendent of the city.
Mayor Bruce Grantham turned the gavel over to Mayor Pro Tem James Bullinger to introduce the ordinance.
The motion to introduce the resolution passed with three votes and Councilman Phillip Cole abstaining due to being related to Grantham to avoid a conflict of interest.
