Leak in meter pit on the city side.
Meter Reader reported a possible leak behind 1015 W Cottage Grove. House looks abandoned.
Mr. David Randolph (of IIG, Inc.) stopped in to complain that his water was shut off due to delinquency on a $30.00 acct. The shutoff cost him over $600.00 in loss of production. Mr. Randolph stated the shutoff could potentially have cost him machinery of plus pose an environmental hazard.
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. Brinson presented CBU with a copy of his plat from October 1957 stating his address should be 4420 Etter Dr.; however, U.S.P.S. records show this address should be 4420 E. Etter Road.
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.
Received large bill from 3-4 years ago that tenants did not pay. Does not feel she should have to pay when account should have automatically been switched to her name when tenants moved. Should have been notified previously.
Mr. Williams owns property at 611 N. Monroe that was occupied by Sally L. Vest. There was a large bill due when Ms. Vest moved. Mr. Williams is disputing the fact that he was not notified by CBU about the large bill. He did receive letter re. a lien being recorded on the property.
Mr. Hamric came in on 7/8/98 and reported that the water he is using to put in the pool at Woodridge Condos at the Pointe is green. It has been green for 48 hours - no odor, no taste. This is a Southern Monroe customer, but he was advised to check with CBU because the water is purchased from us. The Monroe Co. Health Dept. has tested the water and cannot find cause.
