Legal Assistance for High Water Bill in Cleveland OH

[Manik Zaman]

We have a  16 unit building in Cleveland OH, where about 8 been occupied.

Since February 16 to till now, we have a combined of $20,000 water and sewer bill.

I had a third party company came inspected the building, gave us a letter specifying there been no issues found.

Then we had the water department came out and found the meter was faulty, and changed the meter. However they are denying this was the cause.

Is there a legal way to deal with this?

What's "the meter was faulty" mean?  That could be the remote that tells them the numbers as they walk by isn't working, or the meter is spinning triple time or lots of other things. Are you certain you don't have a leak ?
