If your water bill reveals anything at all about your personal finances then you have bigger problems than whether I can see it or not. Is it nice to be able to compare my irrigation usage to that of my neighbors to determine if I am using too much water? Yes. Is it necessary that I be able to do that? No. Do I care if others can see how much water I use? No. Is there any personally identifiable information on my water bill? Absolutely not.

I really appreciate all of the comments on this posting as I am on the NSCUDD board. While district staff did present this new change for utility billing to the board, the focus was on possible saving if and when enough customers would discontinue the use of having paper statements sent to them. This new firm is supposed to actively promote this switch to using only online statements as this new firm is costing us a little bit more than the previous billing firm. The board was never shown nor discussed the new access method other than staff saying online billing statements would look very similar to what was shown on the old system.
While local boards with local control sound good and are promoted, it’s not always a panacea to produce and monitor public programs. Now, if I can just find my account number to access my statement. |

We have actually spoken to our neighbors who also shared their billing with us.

Still can't see my bill
It's now been a full day since I received notice of my bill under the new system. Every attempt to actually look at the bill tells me to "try again later". Not a fan so far!

I'm a fairly new owner. I just went into the settings and set it to run 1/3rd of the time that they had it set at initially and my lawn looks just the same as all of my neighbors.

If they see you don't use much water (other than sprinklers) during the months of June and July, they'll have a nice addition to next year's list of easy pickin's. |
