Mr. Kennedy called and requested that the summer watering credits be extended this year due to the extremely dry conditions.
Letter from Mr. Ludwig stated that he was gone two weeks last month and his bill was doubled. He talked to Angie Grubb who had check made for leaks. None were found. Mr. Ludwig wrote to USB to have bill lowered.
Mr. Milne stated on 6/4/98 that he felt the letter re. Aqua Pay that was put in monthly billings was deceiving. The letter stated that you could pay your monthly bill by Aqua Pay or at local banks but did not state that you still had the option to pay in cash or by check at the Utilities Department.
Mr. Carrico upset b/c he's being charged $10 fee to adjust a bill. He's happy $45 adjustment is being made, however it seems ludicrous when it was CBU's negligence in the first place that led to the original problem (water line leak, CBU read meter but never notified them until too late). Also, he is upset that CBU says it's open at 8am, but whenever he calls (which has been frequently) at 8am no one answers. He feels that customer service should be available at time given on recording.
Confusion regarding the Stecker's water bill has caused them distress and concern. Please clear up the situation. See letter.
Mr. Carrico recent water bill was 3 times the normal rate. He later learned that Utilities had a list of people whose water bills increased drastically. Mr. Carrico is upset that no one informed him as soon as this was noticed so he could look into the problem. After he was informed, he called a plumber and it will be several days before they can work him in. He would like an adjustment to his bill.
