Mrs. Hughes called on 6/12/02 to talk about her bill. She said she was not credited for last payment and recd. bill for 4000 gallons for 1 week. I referred her to Margaret Dalle-Ave. Mrs. Hughes requested # for IURC which I gave to her.
Mr. Yost stated that he requested that water be turned off in October 2001; however, he received and paid bills for next five months. He is requesting that he be refunded the amount of these payments ($59.20).
Ms. Sylvester called and stated that she and her neighbors wanted to state their feelings about the format of the new CBU bills. She does not think the bill is easier to read; in fact, it is much more confusing.
Customer called to suggest that a phone number be printed on the bill so customers don't have to look number up in the phone book....
Customer concerned about two things on new billing format. When they are an aqua-pay customer it says balance due $0.00 but under that says the amount being debited from their account. Customer says it is confusing. Also said a phone number to call should be on the bill.
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.
CUSTOMER CONCERNED BECAUSE THEY HAVE EAST MONROE AND ARE ON OUR SEWER SYSTEM. THINKS SINCE WE DON'T METER WHAT GOES INTO THE SEWER WE REALLY CAN'T BILL THEM CORRECTLY. FEELS LIKE THEY ARE BEING OVERCHARGED. I EXPLAINED THE FLAT RATE TO HIM IT DIDN'T SEEM TO HELP ANY.
Letter was rec'd. from Mr. Polus who requested that watering credits be based on bills for January and March rather than April and May due to large amounts of watering done early in year.
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. ***
