What Else???
Once something good happens something, something bad happens. It almost wipes out all the good. Yesterday we got a water and sewage board for almost $3000. Yes, $3000. That is not a typo. They have been screwing us over for awhile. Water and Sewage is in one of my roomies names. We pay her $$ and she sends it in. For the past few months each bill says we are behind a month. Which we aren't....in fact they have cashed the previous months check. Their computer system just has to be messed up or something. Yesterday we found out that since Katrina, they haven't bothered to come out ONCE to do a meter reading. So for 17 months they have been estimating our water usage. SEVENTEEN MONTHS. They just now finally came and did a reading and now we get to pay for what they haven't charged us for the past 17 months. Now I may be off base but it really isn't our problem if they couldn't get anyone out to read our meter for the past 17 months. I could understand maybe 6 months. But 17???? I am sorry cut your losses, it is your own problem water and sewage board if you cant get your people out to read the meters!! Don't come back later and screw us over royally!!!

I know of someone else that happened to tried to fight it - got even more screwed. they wound up on a 10 year paymetn plan :)
Royally sucks babe!
umm..lawyer needed? I like Lisa's idea. But I would mark the meter now and then read it again in a month and see if they are being honest. Is that for upstairs and downstairs??? Call your landlord too...maybe they'll go to bat for you! Lisa
try the utilities commission... http://www.lpsc.org/ When you speak to them about the bill, tell them you are reporting them... This usually works. Good Luck!
