A $2,167.02 Water Bill? How a Water Company Forced a 91-year-old Woman To Sell Her Home | Alternet
As reported by the Courier-Post on Sunday, the elderly Camden resident, accustomed to $50 or $60 quarterly water bills from United Water, received a bill for $2,167.02 earlier this year. She hadn’t filled up an Olympic-sized swimming pool; according to her water bill, the water she used could have done so. No water leaks in her home were found, and her bill the next quarter was back to normal. United Water insisted that the insane charge was accurate, but couldn’t explain why.
