[QUOTE="1 Day At a Time, post: 181395, member: 3704"] Three years ago I got a bill from our water department for $19, 855.00. I'm serious! I called customer service and said "you have got to be kidding" . Even the unfriendly customer (no service) worker had to admit this was ridiculous. They came out and installed a new meter (completely tearing up our newly sodded lawn in the process). We got reasonable bills for a year and then got hit with another HUGE bill. We were told that the meter was not read for a year because the meter readers could not find the meter. (Remember this is the new one that THEY installed). Finally I got a supervisor to come out to our house. He decided to paint a bright neon big arrow from the road pointing to our meter--- I kid you not. He was worried that his boys still couldn't find their meter. Last month I heard voices in our yard and I went outside to investigate. Three fellows were in our yard walking around. One had a huge machete and was chopping away at my hydrangeas. I said "hmm... can I help you guys? ". They told me that they were looking for my sewer connection. They were from (you guessed it) the water department. I suggested that they might want to knock on my door before entering my yard and chopping down my plants- and then that they might want to come with me to the back yard so that I could show them the sewer connection that THEY approved some years ago. Sometimes I wonder if the inmates are not in charge of the hospital -know what I mean? I am certain that they lost your money order Janet! Keep after them, don't let them wear you down. [/QUOTE]
