We had our landlord come and check out the house and they didnt find any leaks. We’ve been gone all month so there’s no way we could’ve used that much water. What can we do to ensure that we don’t have to pay a huge bill for water we couldn’t have used? Thanks
Owner wrote re. property at 1104 E. Azalea Lane in Bloomington. Tenant moved leaving large, unpaid bill. Owner does not feel she should be held responsible for bill and request review by USB Subcommittee.
customer called about the fire protection charge on a hydrant meter he has rented. He says he was only quoted the min. water service charge of 30.87 and not the additional 17.45 for the fire protection. I explained to him that the fire protection is a meter base charge for every meter. He still feels he shouldn't have to pay it since he says that amount was not quoted to him. He wanted someone with higher authority than myself to contact him.
My water bill for this month is showing twice our normal consumption rate, which I believe is incorrect. We have not changed our usage habits, let alone doubled them.
Customer had new stool installed but had to leave in a hurry. Apparently, stool did not shut off. Customer wants adjustment made on water bill.
Mr. Strats called the Mayor's Office at approximately 10:45 a.m. on Tuesday, August 19, 1997 to express concern over his water being turned off. He had originally received a notice that his water bill was late, then showed proof of payment to Utilities. After doing so, Utilities informed him that he would be taken off the list, but his water at the Uptown Cafe (his business) water still turned off.
SHE WAS CONCERNED BECAUSE APARTMENT COMPLEXES DO NOT RECEIVE THE SUMMER SEWER AVERAGE. SHE COMMENTED THAT MOST COMPLEXES KEEP THEIR LAWNS WATERED TO LOOK NICE SO THEY SHOULD RECEIVE SOME TYPE OF BREAK IN THE SEWER PORTION OF THEIR BILLS SAME AS RESIDENTAL CUSTOMERS.
MS. ROBBINS FEELS THAT THE METHOD USED TO ASSESS WATER AND SEWER BILLS IN SUMMER AND EARLY IS UNFAIR. SHE FEELS CUSTOMERS SHOULD BE GIVEN A BREAK ON THE BILLING FOR THE MONTH OF OCTOBER ALSO.
Mr. Waters has called and visited numerous times. He feels he should be credited $50 because he was on vacation and did not use that amount of water. His meter was tested and no problems were found. Mr. Waters told that he could not be credited that amount. He wants to appeal to Mike Phillips when he returns.
