95-year-old viewer fights back against water bill overcharge.#news #breakingnews #shortsfeed

15 gallons of water a day. That's about 450 gallons or about 30 something dollars a month. Until this past July.

2017 dollars and 55 cents.

His meter reading showed he used 111,000 gallons.

I was shocked to say the least.

But Dittmar paid it and applied for an unusually large bill adjustment. The city has 90 days to review and approve or deny those requests. But the very next month, Dittmar's bill showed he used another 14,000 gallons. The next month, the city says he used another 10,000. That got Dittmar moving. I knew I hadn't used that much water and so I went out and checked the meter myself. See for yourself on October 28th when we checked the meter with DITMAR it read eight hundred and six thousand nine thirty but the city billed him based on an estimated meter reading of eight hundred and seven thousand all

the the water department has has financial problems.
