Re: [Chat] water bill

I called the water dept. yesterday.

Someone is coming out this week to reread the meter.

I'll post what happens to the bill when I hear.

Odette and D. Williams,
 
Thank you for your messages.  Nothing seems to be leaking. I have a new pipe 
from the street to the house.
 
I’ll try Cindy tomorrow.

I called Councilwoman Mary Pat Clarke's office about this for a neighbor a 
couple of days ago - apparently this has been happening to other folks across 
the city and it's because the bureau of water and waste water at the city is 
starting to use a different system (trying to upgrade finally) - and it has a 
few hic-ups now and then.  Call Mary Pat Clarke's office, Cindy (her staff 
person) can help.  Or call the customer service number on the bill, and they 
will probably tell you the same thing and re-work the bill.
 
Hope this helps.

Christine, 
 
By all means, have the city send someone out to re-check your meter!  Just call 
the number on your statement for billing inquiries.  Last summer, I got a water 
bill for $900 when the meter reader inverted two numbers.  
 
Also,  you can check for a slow leak in your commodes by putting cold coffee or 
a cola in your toilet tanks.  If there's a slow leak, the water in the bowl 
will turn brown.  In all likelihood, the folks in the utilities department will 
suggest this, so it's good to be able to tell them you've already checked this 
possibility (As if a slow leak would increase your total water usage by a 
factor of ten...!).
 
Hope this helps!

Nothing has changed in my life!
 
Is it possible to get another reading of the water meter?
 
Has this jump in water use happened, without a reason, to anyone else?
