CLIVE, Iowa (AP) - Clive plans to repay a youth baseball league nearly $69,000 because the league’s been overbilled for water.

The Des Moines Register reports (https://dmreg.co/1A0uIuF ) that the Walnut Creek Baseball league has been double billed since 2005. City Manager Dennis Henderson says a billing error was discovered during discussions with league officials about league plans. League games are played along the Greenbelt Trail at the Brownell Sports Complex.

City officials say a meter was improperly set and was overstating the number of gallons used for irrigation and other reasons.
