Mr. Strats called the Mayor's Office at approximately 10:45 a.m. on Tuesday, August 19, 1997 to express concern over his water being turned off. He had originally received a notice that his water bill was late, then showed proof of payment to Utilities. After doing so, Utilities informed him that he would be taken off the list, but his water at the Uptown Cafe (his business) water still turned off.
SCOTT PATE CALLED AND TALKED TO CUSTOMER SERV. DEPT. SEVERAL TIMES. HE WANTED TO PROTEST LARGE BILL FOR HIS RESIDENCE. HE STATES THAT HE LIVES ALONE AND FEELS THAT THE WATER USAGE FOR 1 MONTH IS TOO LARGE AND THAT HE CANNOT FIND A LEAK.
SHE CALLED ON 3-28-97 TO COMPLAIN ABOUT BEING BILLED TWICE THE NUMBER OF GALLONS OF WATER MORE THAN SHE HAS BEEN PREVIOUSLY BILLED SINCE SHE HAS LIVED AT THIS ADDRESS.
MS. ROBBINS FEELS THAT THE METHOD USED TO ASSESS WATER AND SEWER BILLS IN SUMMER AND EARLY IS UNFAIR. SHE FEELS CUSTOMERS SHOULD BE GIVEN A BREAK ON THE BILLING FOR THE MONTH OF OCTOBER ALSO.
On July 29, 1996, Ms. Murphyy got a disconnect notice on a different account. She said she was told by CBU employee that she had two accounts - one was a phantom account and was meter reader's fault. The clerk stated it was all straightened out. While Ms. Murphy was on vacation, her water was disconnected. Water was not turned back on as they were told after her call. Meter reader turned water on. She wants apology.
