They are at it again


Who out there remembers the saga of the water/sewage board? Well those frickin bastards are at it again. First it was a $3000 water bill. Like one house hold can use $3000 of water in a month. They then said it was for a year's worth because they had been estimating all year. Still it is really hard for a household to use $3000 worth of water in a year. They had been reading the wrong meter...blah blah blah. We get it all taken care of, paying $500 for the year. (remember that total) We then get another bill right after that for like $300 for the month. Um really? That sounds so right. $500 for the year and now $300 for a month? Yeah that is TOTALLY doable. We get that figured all out (again) and are now in our new place. I get home one day and the WATER IS OFF. The water board says "oops we turned off the wrong meter. it will be fixed sometime tomorrow" you know how hard it is to be without water. I mean not being able to flush the toilet is bad enough!! They did turn it on the next day....I swear a shower never felt so good.

Which brings us to yesterday. The bill arrives. Anyone want to take a shot at what the amount for the latest bill is?? Anyone? This was for a 30 day period. Yeah...it is over $600. They are saying we used over 1000k or what ever their terms are when the month before? we used like 89k. How is that even remotely frickin possible??? Unless there is a leak in a pipe (there isn't we have gone through all that) it isn't possible. They just like to mess big time with us. And whenever Kristen goes in to the water board (it is in her name so she has to go) they won't let her talk to a supervisor. They don't do that there. WHAT??? someone is obviously messing up on their job and they need to be dealt with. ugh. So frustrating.
