Please help me to understand my water bill and why I am continuing to be charged. My name is Bob Schimp account # 33653-019 and own 522 Graham Place. Parker Real Estate manages the property and has continued to pay the utility bills sent to them. They have been instructed not to have the water turned on. The previous tenant was evicted and left a water bill of $159 and the water was disconnected for non-payment. In September or October I was working in the unit and a man from your office arrived and turned the water on, I immediately went to the office and asked for the water to be turned off. I was told the water would be automatically turned on and billed to me as the owner unless I signed a form at your office which I did (the signed form is on file in your office). The water is currently OFF and has not been turned on since being shut off for non-payment, even as you continue to bill me for water usage. Please under NO circumstances turn the water on as the condo has been remodeled with new carpet paint and kitchen fixtures. Until pressure checks are completed water leaks may damage the new construction. I also ask that you not turn on water until the arrears from the previous tenant is paid and I not be charged while the service has been disconnected.

My roommates and I have discovered that there was a leak with one of our toilets which caused it to continously run. So after we received our first month water bill we noticed that the bill was outrageously high and we immediately called the landlord to fix the leak. Since there was a leak, I am requesting a water bill appeal form if possible. Thank you.

We received an extremely high water bill this past month. I was on the phone with someone from the Utilities department and they explained to me that out meter was running high from 2/1 and then by 2/18 it was back to normal. During that time we received no notification that we had our water was running high and we even had a plumber come out but it was a day after our meter went back down. I want to know if our meter can be re-read to make sure it is running accurately and to get our bill readjusted because I will not pay a $800 water bill.

There is ABSOLUTELY no way we used this much water in a month. This is a 1100% increase month-to-month in our bill from January to February. Our meter has to be reading wrong!

Hello, last month I received a water bill of incredible cost due to my apartment having a major leak in one of its toilets we were unaware of until the bill had arrived. Our property manager and his maintanence team was able to resolve the problem and the proof that is in the attached image. I am wondering if there is any possible way to have a reduction in its cost! Thank you.

My water for the 5th time in 8 years has been shut off because it was confused with my neighbors. I also believe I have been charged for their water usage. Note they had 4 kids and 2 adults there I am by myself, and yet I had an $80 bill. I live at 2602 South Bryan St. and have been here sense 2009. The other resident was at 2602 ½. This happens after each neighbor moves out. Right now the vacant unit has water in it. This also happened to me about 2 or 3 weeks ago and I thought it was resolved that time. It is Bloomington City Water's responsibility to keep this from happening. I need 3 things from you (1) an apology for having done this so many times. (2) An actionable plan as to what you are going to do to stop this in the future. (3) A review of my utility bill for having been over charged.

I did not receive my bill this month and it is not on the website, but I already made my payment with a surcharge, only the balance due appears. I have had months of harassment on my account first charging me 28 to 40 dollars in my bill, the cover of my water meter was out of place for days and then I went to the office where they shouted to me that it was my fault the wrong size of my garbage cart and now not only does not get my receipt, you do not put it on the internet paging for me to know, now that you are charging me. Someone knows why and can inform me?

I had a remarkably high water bill last month that my property manager supposedly fixed on 3/12. My service bill date range for this last month was 3/2 till 4/2. I was wondering if I could have a day-by-day breakdown of my water usage. Specifically, I need to know if there was remarkably high water usage on or after 3/12. If there is none, then that means that the water leak was probably resolved but if there is still insane water usage after 3/12 then it still has not been resolved. Thank you!

Hi - I received a troubling bill from CBU back in January, and despite a few phone messages and emails to utilities.ar@bloomington.in.gov, I never received a response. In the mean-time, CBU apparently discovered an error in billing as my water usage went from an average of 4-5 in 2017 to 15 in January 2018, 8 in February 2018, and back to 4 in April - June. Alas, my most recent bill shows another spike to 7, despite no change in our home usage. Is there perhaps something going awry in our meter reading? I would appreciated an explanation for these sometimes wild fluctuations... Please have a look at my bill, CBU account 845-003 and provide some clarity. Response via email works best for me. Colleen McKenna, cmmckenn@outlook.com 3708 E Morningside Drive. If this method of contact is also not the proper avenue to get a response, could you let me know HOW to successfully contact CBU regarding this or any other issue? Thank you.
