Cleveland Ohio Water Dept has to go!!!!!!!!!!

Cleveland Dept of water rips their own constituents off!  They over bill people, their service sucks, their employees are incompetent, etc.  I started quoting Cleveland codified ordinances sections 535.04, and 543.02 to them.  Those explain how much they are supposed to charge everyone for water and sewer.  It is extremely difficult to get them to follow their own ordinances (policies).  And instead of apologizing for their "mistake," they get mad and start talking nonsense.  They are beyond repair and need to go!  I'M NOT AN ATTORNEY. IT MIGHT BE A GOOD IDEA FOR YOU TO CONSULT AN ATTORNEY ABOUT THESE ORDINANCES.

I think what we investors need to do is start calling, writing, and/or going to the city council meetings and DEMAND that they repeal the ordinances for that and just get rid of the whole Cleveland water dept. It would be better if all of us contact city coucil and demand that they get rid of the Cleveland dept of water.  Just me or someone else doing this might not be enough. If your property is in the suburbs of Cleveland,  you are still dealing with the city of Cleveland water dept, unfortunately, and Cleveland ordinances for water apply to you. 

Cant a private company run the water in Cuyahoga county? Are there private company that operate water and sewer in Ohio? just like gas and electric.

I wonder if we have a class action lawsuit against the city that an attorney would want to take on?  This is huge! EVERY SINGLE BILL for sewer that they send out is wrong.
