Our water/garbage/sewer rate increase they passed in 2006 just became effective this month and they sent us a letter explaining why our bill is so high this month.
Except it wasn't high at all. It's over half what it normally is. 68 bucks. Normally we're around 140+.
I did rip out the old toilet a few months back and completely replaced and fixed everything expecting to see a drop in usage only to find out it didn't change.
So out of curiosity I just went out to check on the meter and realize they completely put a new one in and the leak detector isn't moving a mm.
I'm wondering if the meter was fucked up these past 3 years despite me having gone down to the office and had them check it out.
So the first month that there is a new meter and our bill has dropped over 50% even with this months rate increase.
W T F. I've got to pursue this somehow if they've been overcharging us for 3 years. They kept just saying "oh you must have a leaky faucet or pipe somewhere" despite me never being able to find a single problem.
36 months x $80 or so bucks a month adds up to like 3k.
