d. Please advise about the traffic light at Wagner Road and Normandy Drive. It does not allow enough time for traffic to pass through. The traffic signal has been adjusted in the past to optimize traffic flow at the intersection. More time is provided to Wagner Road as the average wait time is 3 minutes on Normandy Drive. The time allotted allows vehicles to travel through the intersection in a safe manner.

f. Please advise on my water bill issue at 17 Jarratt Court. The Department of Public Utilities has been contacted and a history of your bills and usage were analyzed for the last four years. Your current water bills are tracking the same as your prior usage, and your usage history shows even higher bills due to higher before your must current bill. Public Utilities does not have a phone number on file for you, so will be sending a letter to follow up directly to let you know of our discoveries.
