Water company adjusted my $17,000 bill to $11,000 and I sat before an intimidating panel last Friday and they gave me a “ Courtesy” adjustment of $900.The duplex had foreclosed and been boarded up from 2009 to 2015 so perhaps the pipes leaked underground and that’s what caused the water bill to be so high but my contractor doesn’t think so as there would of been signs of water flooding on the ground   It’s a mystery but I’m so pissed if I have to pay $10k as this is a chunk of my very very hard earned profit  I’ve had 4 evictions this far and they all trashed my place costing me so much money because they lived like animals   They fooled me they were so nice   I’m hoping this good improves quickly now    My bill is still over $10,000 and my last option is to go to superior court.
