Okay, I'll get off my soapbox...I just remember how upset I was before and you going through that with two kids and pregnant....It's just so wrong!Pagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05850055627344999065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30734051.post-57053011829807243772009-07-15T11:04:36.196-07:002009-07-15T11:04:36.196-07:00This EXACT same thing happened to us almost two ye...This EXACT same thing happened to us almost two years ago. I just happened to be running the kitchen water when it all of a sudden turned off. Rob saw the meter man for the city and went outside to find out what was going on. They said they cut our water b/c the bill wasn't paid, only they never mailed out the bill and I just hadn't thought about it yet since it wasn't the end of the month (when I do all my reconciling). I was LIVID. I hopped in the car and drove to the city department and had WORDS with the employees. They were all "It doesn't matter if the bill doesn't get to you, you're still responsible for payment." I said many things about what a corrupt city it was and maybe a few choice words as well. They made me pay the fee to turn it back on and I talked all about how this was a scam and they could claim anything just to get extra fees....well, wouldn't you know that the next month we received a credit on our bill for the fee and the month after that a credit for the entire water bill?!? Apparently, a bunch of people complained since the bills weren't mailed out. AND, just this year the city was dissolved by vote and we're now part of the county instead of that city. You could definitely write in a complaint to the city manager and maybe get your fee back. I TOTALLY know how you feel!!Pagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05850055627344999065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30734051.post-75940192059480289952009-07-14T16:12:51.189-07:002009-07-14T16:12:51.189-07:00OMG!!!!!!!!!

Guess yo...OMG!!!!!!!!! I can't believe that!!!<br />Guess you'll start doing the online bill-pay and avoid the post office altogether??<br />And I'm wondering HOW LONG you'd have to collect water in order to get the gallon or more required to flush a toilet????Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08857009973680280701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30734051.post-16571086816133333892009-07-12T19:58:59.921-07:002009-07-12T19:58:59.921-07:00LOL!

Well we paid but they said it wasn't the correct amount. We never got a bill, or a phone call. I was not happy about it. <br /><br />You can't compare water and cable though. You had it much worse!Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09092329991571108242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30734051.post-71285334244228949862009-07-11T13:39:52.419-07:002009-07-11T13:39:52.419-07:00Someday you will be able to laugh about this ...ma...Someday you will be able to laugh about this ...maybe??!!<br />I had to chuckle when you wrote that the lady told you to collect the rain water.

We both had major suds going in our hair, and the water STOPS. I put on a robe, looked out the window, and saw a truck down the road. They had cut off the water for the whole street to install something at a neighbor's house. I am usually not a confrontational person, but I hopped in my car WITH my robe WITH my sudsy hair WITH my wet sudsy baby and drove the two houses down to roll down my window and give them a piece of my mind!! They were like, "Well we can't warn everybody when we have to turn the water off." Really?? Why not? I was not.a.happy.camper. Hope you survived!Michael and Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16939649486805979321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30734051.post-68647442470235913412009-07-08T11:01:50.548-07:002009-07-08T11:01:50.548-07:00That's awful that the water people gave you su...That's awful that the water people gave you such a hard time!
