If you got a $700 water bill for an alleged usage of 74,200 gallons when your normal usage is somewhere around 4,000 gallons and the water people don’t open again until 8:30 tomorrow morning which is, of course, Friday?
ETA (since we’ve already received one phone call): Matt went outside and checked things out and found out that the meter reads what we would thought it should which means that the bill is just wrong. Things aren’t resolved yet (obviously, since it’s only been a couple of hours since my first post) but it should be a lot simpler and more straightforward. Theoretically. Fingers crossed…
ETAA (preemptive to the phone call): Matt just got off the phone with the water people. They’re going to come out and check the thing in the next 10 days. We’re supposed to pay what we paid last month until they adjust the bill. I don’t really trust the water people, but what else is there to do? Fingers crossed (again).
Come on now, County employees aren’t ALL bad.
Vernon. Jones. Enough said.
But, as he told us at Matt’s baccalaureate, “Vernon Jones LOVES you!”
[gag] Doesn’t that count for something? [whine]
