Customer requests adjustment on large bill due to heavy watering during September and Octboer 2004.
Letter dated 3/10/04 from Emogene H. Carter for property owned by Harold Carter stated at the end of Jan., Util. ofc. was called to check on overcharge of $28.41. Later, a copy of account breakdown was received confirming overcharge. Correction did not show up in either February or March bill.
Letter received from Harold G. Carter for McDoel Baptist Church. Customer claims that charges he received were not his and belonged to another customer.
SHE CALLED ON 3-28-97 TO COMPLAIN ABOUT BEING BILLED TWICE THE NUMBER OF GALLONS OF WATER MORE THAN SHE HAS BEEN PREVIOUSLY BILLED SINCE SHE HAS LIVED AT THIS ADDRESS.
Customer was very upset that his water usage has increased so dramatically. I explained the usage period, insp. results, etc. He was insistent that the changing of the meter had damaged his toilet (by allowing air to get into the lines). He stated that he planned to contact his atty. I referred him to Risk Mgmt. He did not wish to listen to any explanation regarding his usage. I printed out his account history and meter readings for him. I also contacted Ed S. regarding this matter.
Letter stated he wanted to complain about higher bill and extra charge. Did not understand why letter was not sent previous to sending out statements.
Confusion regarding the Stecker's water bill has caused them distress and concern. Please clear up the situation. See letter.
I need my services restored immediately please
Customer was out of town due to hip surgery and rec'd. large water bill upon his return. The stool had a leak. Customer would like an adjustment on account since he was gone.
