The water usage is exceedingly high and we are not sure why. The amount that is recorded as being used seems like way more than we could use, and we suspect there may be an issue with the water meter or a potential leak somewhere that is causing an issue with the reading.
Extremely high bill that was a problem last month, and is again a problem this month. Im not paying for water I didn’t use. I can’t afford it, I’m a college student. The bill went from $40-50 to $250-$350. This is ridiculous. We usually average 4-5 thousand gallons.. The first high bill was 26 thousand gallons, the second (most recent) bill is 20 thousand gallons. Maintenance for my apartment has come and checked everything, nothings wrong. Has to be a bigger problem. The bill needs to be waived, and the problem needs to be fixed. I live at Hoosier Court Apartments, apartment 519.
We got left a notice on our door stating that our water meter was creeping and that we should contact maintenance. We contacted maintenance and they stated it was likely due to new meters being installed. Our bill this month is 3 units higher than our bill has ever been before and we are beginning to wonder if the meter issue is related at all.
Mr. Wright feels that a large bill he received was fault of his water meter. Meter was checked & found to be working properly. Mr. Wright wants to take this matter to USB for review.
Ever since utility update work has been done to digital reading, water bill went up. Water bill used to be less than $50. Now it’s over $100. I need someone to come and identify what the problem is. 3941 S Bushmill Dr. Bloomington,In 47403
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.

Ms. Hanner requested an adjustment on her bill. She was in Florida for Christmas. Unit in toilet tank broke and water ran for most of three weeks. Cost $58.73 to repair. Her water bill was $516.94. She wants an adjustment.
Letter from Cheryl Crider-Jackson indicated she was gone 10 days of billing period in August '03. She believes her water usage was too high for that period and would like review by USB Adm. Subcommittee.
