I have been living in this house for about 5 years now. During the first 3 years I had my Daughter/Son and their family living here. My sewer bill ranged from 35 to 40 bucks. <br /><br />The sewer dept would send a guy out to read the meter. From about 3 years ago they quit reading the meter and just estimate it. Now it is just my wife and I. So I know my usage is down.<br /><br />Called them about the problem. They said they had sent out a letter that the meters were changed with a remote sending unit that the meter reader can read from the road without getting out of his truck/car. They did this 3 years ago! I never got a notice about this change over to the new style meter.<br /><br />Long story short, they should owe me a balance of about 720 bucks! They won't refund the money, nor will they put it towards the assement for the sewer. What really makes me mad is that they want 850 to put the new meter in.<br /><br />I checked with my neighbors and their bill ranges from 5 to 10 a month for a single person to 15 to 20 for a family of 4! My bill is 45 to 55 a month!<br /><br />I'm doing my best to be thorn in their butt over this, but I seem to be getting nowhere. <br /><br />Any ideas?
