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.
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.
MS. BENTLEY CALLED ON 11/8/97 AND STATED THAT SHE HAD A 20,000 GAL CONSUMPTION AND HAD A PLUMBER COME OUT AND LOOK. THE PLUMBER TOLD HER HE THINKS THE PROBLEM IS IN THE MAIN. MS. BENTLEY WOULD LIKE THIS MATTER CHECKED OUT.

Tenants rent property at 413 S. Highland. Landlord (K. Norbu) says high water bills are their responsibility. He did fix leaking stool, however.
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.
Ms. Knoy requested a reduction of sewer charges due to leak in building.
Ms. Weaver called to complain that her water has tasted and smelled muddy and "earthy" for 2-3 weeks. This problem started right after heavy rains.
