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.
Customer is very upset about the fact of having to pay a higher rate for their irrigation water vs their house water. Also, they were surprised about the $18 fee to have the meter s/o in the fall because we used to not charge a "disconnect" fee only a "reconnect" fee in the Spring. I explained to her the policy had changed, and to avoid paying the service fees over the Winter she would have the $18 s/o in the Fall and the $18 turn on in the Spring. I let her know each trip was a svc call.
Customer feels he was "ripped off" because we charged him an $18 service fee to shut off his meter when he ended his service. He feels after being a customer and paying for our services for some time that we should not charge them to stop their service.
