My water is off
My water is off
Water bill for 10/1 is $128 and charging for use of 5,000 gallons of water. We feel that this is much too high and that we do not use 5,000 gallons. Looking to determine if there’s a possible leak or billing mistake.
The water usage is exceedingly high and we are not sure why. The amount that is recorded as being used seems like way more than we could use, and we suspect there may be an issue with the water meter or a potential leak somewhere that is causing an issue with the reading.
The meter associated with Acct# 32673-004 had an underground leak. None of the water entered a drain or went through the pipes after leaking. We are requesting a credit of $11,536.55 for the wastewater portion of the attached bill. Thank you!
In ground water valve is missing cap. Reported by IU Groundskeeper.
Fienhydrant usage without back flow protection and meter. Spicewood addition. Contractor is Snedegar working with Duke Energy. 10/5/22 at 7 pm
Turned on faucet to clean a litter box and leaves came out with the water for several minutes
There is a large pipe knocked down from the corner of South Rogers Street and Hillside, it is laying on the sidewalk.
There are a lot of rocks on the edges of the road on both sides in this block. Looks like they are from a recent construction project that was not cleaned up afterwards, and they look like they are too big for the street-cleaning machines to pick up.
My neighbor John East told me that city surveyors were planning a project to renovate this storm drain system that flows from his yard in an open stream - through my yard which was tiled over at some point (I believe the city did this but cannot confirm). This system flows then into Cascades Park. There are a significant number of sunken areas along the path of this conduit in my yard - which has concerned me regarding the integrity of this pathway. I have had MUCH trouble with hydrostatic pressure along my basement foundation, and have not found a cause for this to date. Additionally, when the rain is hard enough, this system will back up into John's yard and the water will breach Skyline Dr. and flood my yard as well. I am looking for information about any plan for a project so that I can respond in time by moving perennials and manage expectations regarding disruption at the house from possible excavation and construction.
