CBS has been reporting these on the last couple of nights - - people getting water bills double what they normally are. Mine still is roughly what it always is (about $200 per bill), but they've been showing people who normally have bills like mine having $500 or even $1000 bills. Anyone have a personal anecdote with this?

I started noticing a spike in my supposed water useage this past August - after checking the supposed meter reading on my bill against the actual water meter, it was obvious that they (City of San Diego) was just making up the meter reading; after sending a picture of my water meter to customercare@sandiego.gov, my account was credited for the discrepancy.

More recently, meaning last month, after the tenants moved out of one of my rental properties, I received a water bill for the place (when it was vacant for a month, when I had turned the water off). The bill showed 3 HCF useage; same story - I took a look at the actual meter - which was crusted over with dirt (no way someone could have read it); cleaned it off and sent in a photo of the actual meter reading. I'm still waiting to see what they're going to do, but in the meantime received this email from them:
"Thank you for contacting The City of San Diego, Public Utilities. I will submit a request to our billing department to review your invoice and ensure that we have billed you correctly based on your meter reading."

I haven't seen CBS8's stories (just the headlines), so maybe they included this one, but Matt Baylow recently tweeted that he had bills four times higher than before: https://twitter.com/MattBaylow/statu...89871187673090
