(Harlan) The Harlan City Council Tuesday evening agreed to a recommendation to move forward with the HomeServe Service Line Program pending HMU Board review and marketing agreement.
Harlan City Administrator Gene Gettys explains…
Gettys provided an example of how this program would work.
Gettys noted that HomeServe provided statistics that stated close to 80-percent of homeowners that were spoken to believe there should be more education about who owns what and ways to prevent repairs. Close to 60-percent of homeowners have had some type of emergency repair, whether it be sewer or water, in the past year. And, 40-percent of American homeowners couldn’t withstand a surprise emergency bill for this type of bill.
In other activity, the Council approved the appointment of Paul Bruck to the Tree Advisory Commission for a three-year term to expire May 16, 2026.
