I called the Water Department to complain about the increase and was very rudely told that there was nothing that could be done, we had to pay the bill or our water service would be disconnected. The young lady grudgingly agreed to have someone check the meter, which was done on Aug. 30. On Sept. 7, I again called and was told that the meter was running slow and steady, the reading was correct and the bill had to be paid.
