Maysville Sued Over Mobile Home Hookups Dispute
Ted and Jeana Kahlert sue the town of Maysville in Jones County Superior Court claiming punitive and compensatory damages exceeding 10,000. The suit arises after the couple offered 800 plus dollars to hook two mobile homes to town water and sewer before a pending ordinance limiting such hookups. The board deadlocked with one abstention and a mayoral vote needed to break the tie. The attorney general’s office is involved. The town contends the homes existed before the ordinance and could be eligible for service depending on AG guidance. The next board meeting is expected to address the issue. The current ordinance limits mobile homes to eight years old, requiring livable condition.
