Letter to USB requested refund of irrigation payments made since meter was turned off and for revision of policy.
Mrs. Soni called the Utilities dept. regarding her water bill, to see if they wld. change her billing cycle to read DUE ON ____ (anytime during the 1st week of every mo.). Currently, she receives a bill that is due on the 26th of every mo. She wld. like it changed so her checks won't "cross" the billy cycle, and also so she won't receive a DISCONNECT NOTICE every mo. She says, " It's counterproductive, really." The Utilities dept. says they will NOT change her billing cycle-she's not happy.
Cust is unhappy with having to pay the service charges for her irrigation meter over the winter months while not in use. Also, expressed that increase in irrigation water charges is excessive.
Customer called asking why he is being billed fire protection on his irrigation meter. I explained to him it was a charge that has always been there it is now broken down separately. He says he pays it on his domestic meter and shouldn't have to pay it on his irrigation meter. I told him I would forward on his comments. He did want some else to call him back.
Mr. Freeman called to say his bill has been messed up for several months. He says he paid bill last month, but bill received this month does not have matter cleared up. Paula Dodds knows about the problem. Does not want matter taken to USB Subcommittee. Wants matter cleared up by CBU Director. Problem is bill for temp. hydrant meter.
Account in name of Sharyn Riley, but letter from James C. Riley, requested adjustment on account due to heavy watering of lawn in September in midst of dry spell.
Customer would like adjustment on large bill due to watering during the month of September 2004.
Is the Wastewater Usage charge of $46.56 a new item or an error? If error, will the overpayment be credited on the next billing cycle?
Received latest water bill - water usage was billed for 16,000 gallons, well above usual average of 5,000-8,000 gallons.
My utility bill is almost $200 a month. I have had a Plumber make adjustments to toilets to ensure none are malfunctioning. I’m wondering if there is a leak somewhere. Could you tell me if you can help assess this? Thanks
