Well, I posted this because I saw some humor in it and that others might be interested and I asked others if they had something similar. But I get advice on how to handle it. One poster doesn't even know how to read the bill. Go figure ! !

FWIW, I got a kick out of your post. That is quite a mistake.

Maybe with all the rain we've had, that's the credit due for all the water you've returned to the water dept! lol

The hash mark to the right of the number indicates a credit balance in the water account. All he has to do is worry they did not actually take it from his checking/savings account!

One of the reasons I pay by check!!!!!!

I know how you feel. Most respondents get your point but some always make you scratch your head and make you wonder why bother posting. Obviously you know to call the water dept and others, but some criticize you for posting this humorous billing error. I did check my bill to ensure mine was correct and I appreciate your posting. I limit my posts to avoid getting the "you should have known the rules" or "you should have done this or that" type responses. I love this site because of the information and experiences residents share, but not for the unnecessary critical comments.

Tell them to write you a check for the credit. Go play the lottery.

Well, if you're referring to my mention of how your bill looks...you're right...I'm not in TV or Florida for that matter and your bills do look different than ours.

I think a trip down to the water company to have the water tested is in order.
