Owner, Robert Crider, wants to protest his being held responsible for large unpaid bill for tenant Amanda Choi. He states he did not receive notification of delinquent bill.
Customer is very upset about the fact of having to pay a higher rate for their irrigation water vs their house water. Also, they were surprised about the $18 fee to have the meter s/o in the fall because we used to not charge a "disconnect" fee only a "reconnect" fee in the Spring. I explained to her the policy had changed, and to avoid paying the service fees over the Winter she would have the $18 s/o in the Fall and the $18 turn on in the Spring. I let her know each trip was a svc call.
Customer feels he was "ripped off" because we charged him an $18 service fee to shut off his meter when he ended his service. He feels after being a customer and paying for our services for some time that we should not charge them to stop their service.
