Well folks here is a RANT and a half. As you know I have been in Utah since Nov 23rd. I just got back on Wednesday.
LOTS of mail. And two stickers on my door. Stickers were from the city water department. Something is wrong with my water meter they think and they have to come in the house to check it out. I call them up on Thursday. I tell the lady I was in Utah till Wednesday and that is why I didn't use any water. She insists that they have to come out and check it. I tell her again that I was in Utah from Nov and just got back. She still insists. I ask for a supervisor. I get one and tell her the situation. She tells me to wait. BTW they installed smart meters and they automatically send information to the city office. So she gets back on the line and says everything is working now and I didn't tell the first lady I was in Utah. I told her that I did TWICE.
Anyway, I get my water bill today. Said I used 700 gallons last month. I look at February's bill, also said I used 700 gallons! December and January said I used 5 gallons.
They even have actual meter readings on these bills. A BUNCH of BS.
So do I pay it and see if they give me a credit next month for Feb and Mar, or do I go in and YELL at them for being CROOKS?
I am thinking of paying it and seeing if they adjust BOTH bills next month and if they don't, then make a plan of action.
Anybody have any thoughts? My 5 gallon bills were 44.46 each month, my 700 gallon bills are 82.13 each month.
Not like Michigan is lacking water!
