Pool Co records show them not at the house during the days the spike occurred. HAd plumber and leak specialist check. Result, no leaks found, no evidence of water leakage. Water Co flatly stated that if the meter said it ran, the problem cannot possibly be on their side. Even suggested that neighbors had stolen water. Our pool only holds @10,000 gal and running the hose for its initial fill took five days. 50k in 3 days is mission impossible. They (water co) stonewalling) say their meter checks out OK an their equip never fails, so it's our problem.
Sure hate having to deal with monopolies. The battle goes on.
Is there not any oversight to CCDs utilities?

find a class action lawyer ?
