      Status:
      Answered
      The date of the transaction is June 23, 2023 and upcoming July 31, 2023. This is a water company overcharging me for services. My bill is normally $25 to $26 tops because I live alone. For June 2023, the amount jumped up to $44.06 claiming I used 5,100 gallons of water; I called Aqua and was told to check my meter, I might have a leak. I didn't check the meter because I figured maybe I left my outside faucet it on after I watered the grass. From that time onward I was very careful to ensure the faucet was off the few times I watered my garden only. The bill for July 2023 is $48.84, there is no way on earth I used 6,000 gallons of water from June 2 to July 5, 2023. I go to check the meter because something is horribly wrong. I opened the latch to check the meter and there is dried mud thick enough to make a mud pie on the meter. How was the meter checked with the dried mud on it. Also, so many cobwebs like it had not been opened in months. There is fraud going on here.

      Terrible customer service. No communication of water issues or boil bans until well after they have taken effect. Water is either over chlorinated to the point you are nauseous taking a shower or so un-clean that it is a brown/yellow color and leaves sediment everywhere. Refuses to do anything to improve.
