Water Utility Billing Problems

3101 N Canterbury CT

Case Date:
4/5/2023

Our water usage volume has almost tripled in Jan, Feb and Mar of 2023 compared to Oct, Nov and Dec of 2022.From about 11K gallons to around 33K gallons per month. Something does not seem right. I believe our facilities manager did have a plumbing company look to see if they could find any issue but I don't believe they did. Can someone take a look at this issue?

I am writing to bring your attention to an urgent matter regarding an unusually high water bill that I have received. My name is Kumar Vinayak, and I am a resident in the Bloomington area. I hope that you can assist me in resolving this issue promptly. Upon reviewing my recent bills, I have noticed a significant discrepancy in the water consumption. In the month of April, the recorded consumption was approximately 30 gallons, while in May, it unexpectedly increased to 35 gallons. These figures are undoubtedly incorrect, as such a volume of water cannot be reasonably consumed by a single individual. To address this concern, we immediately contacted our leasing office, as we suspected a possible emergency situation or water leakage within our house. They promptly responded by inspecting the property thoroughly but found no signs of any leaks or abnormal water usage. This observation leads us to believe that the issue may lie with the meter or its readings, as it seems to be continuously running even when the house is unoccupied. Given our status as students, it is financially burdensome for us to pay the exorbitant amount of approximately $1000 for water alone. This kind of billing discrepancy is highly abnormal, as it greatly surpasses our electricity bill, which amounts to approximately $100 per month. I kindly request your immediate attention to this matter and urge you to investigate the issue thoroughly. I have attached a copy of the bill for your reference. I believe it is essential to rectify this situation as soon as possible to avoid any further financial strain on our part. I appreciate your understanding and assistance in resolving this matter swiftly. Please keep me informed of any progress made in investigating and rectifying the issue. I can be reached at the email address provided in this communication or my flatmate's contact number, +1 (812) 360-0848 (as I am outside Bloomington).

The water usage is exceedingly high and we are not sure why. The amount that is recorded as being used seems like way more than we could use, and we suspect there may be an issue with the water meter or a potential leak somewhere that is causing an issue with the reading.

Hello - We are submitting a complaint against the City of Bloomington Utilities for the following reasons: 1. We were notified in February 2024 of a 40 g/h increase in our flow, while we were out of the state on vacation, via a door tag, not a notice to our email or even a phone call, which are on our account, a door tag. 2. We have called Customer Support three times to get this resolved, as we have not identified a leak inside the house nor outside the house between the reader and the house, which we utilized Aim To Please as our contractor to check everything in the house. 3. The number of times we were told to check our toilets and got brushed off was disrespectful and patronizing, as we utilized Aim to Please to check the toilets via a Dye test and there was no dye leakage after 20 minutes in any toilet. 4. Our March (5), April (4), May (7), and June (4), and July (5) are higher than all the months prior a full year to date. However, it's not a constant leak, they are sporadic. I.e. - while I was putting my kids to bed at 9pm on Friday, June 14th, there was a spike of 400 g/h for under an hour and then it went back down. There was nothing running in terms of faucets or outside spigots. 5. Even with all of our work on our end, and the conversations with CBU Customer Support, the fact that CBU won't consider that we have a malfunctioning reader, is simply astounding. To not even consider the possibility of it, and have a denialist mentality does not, to me, show customer support or attention. We would appreciate a review and investigation of our reader and our usage reports to better understand these spikes. Additionally, we would appreciate a review of our billing because we are now paying quite a bit more for water than we did for the first two years of our ownership of this house. Please contact me for further conversation and happy to meet someone at the property.

Re: 4784 S Abington Ave Acct: 89652-002 Please look at water bills for Dec, Jan, Feb. There was a broken water meter that resulted in an extreme excess of charge to my account. The water meter has since been fixed. However, since this was out of my control and I had no bearing in the broken water meter, nor its repair, I am hoping there can be some concession on my utility account. Please contact me with the best solution. I am looking farward to hearing from you. Thank you, best.

I was a few days late making my April payment. My account still does not reflect the payment I made on 5/5.
