Water Utility Billing Problems
900 E 14th ST
- Case Date:
- 8/4/2003
Letter states that customer was not informed about a $54.00 charge, that water was not turned on as stated, and that Jennifer (Customer Relations rep.) was rude. States she will not pay $54.00 charge no matter what is done to her account.
A letter was received from Max Wildman of the Happy Car Full Service Car Wash regarding a disconnect notice he received for August and September. On this billing was a miscellaneous charge of $540.00. Mr. Wildman feels this is a harsh penalty.
MS. BARKLEY WROTE ON 9/5/97 AND REQUESTED A REFUND FOR WHAT SHE FEELS ARE OVERCHARGES FOR HER APARTMENT BUILDINGS.
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.
Upset with discrepancy in account that she thought was taken care of. JA has full copy of original email.
SCOTT PATE CALLED AND TALKED TO CUSTOMER SERV. DEPT. SEVERAL TIMES. HE WANTED TO PROTEST LARGE BILL FOR HIS RESIDENCE. HE STATES THAT HE LIVES ALONE AND FEELS THAT THE WATER USAGE FOR 1 MONTH IS TOO LARGE AND THAT HE CANNOT FIND A LEAK.
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.
I rec'd copy of letter from Mr. Coster stating he had been paying wrong bill and that he was contacted by CBU with correct amount owed. He feels this is unfair and is willing to pay $105.85. ** NOTE: I DID NOT RECEIVE ORIGINAL LETTER, ONLY COPY FROM KATHY GRUBB. MR. COSTER STATES HE INCLUDED CHECK IN AMOUNT OF $105.85; HOWEVER, IT WAS NOT INCLUDED WITH COPY I RECEIVED. ** ***FURTHER NOTE: Check was received on 12/2/99 and was applied to balance due on account. ***
Mr. DeMaille called Customer Service and stated that he lives in Zone 4 and understands that his summer watering credit was extended for 1 add'l. month. He feels, however, that since he is now putting in a new lawn his watering credit should be extended even further.
