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.
