Keep an eye out for double water bills

Don't be alarmed if you see a high number on your water bill this month.  Due to an "internal error" inside the water department, some July bills were not sent out as scheduled.  This was about the time they switched to the new billing system so I'm assuming they experienced some glitches.

I've already had three bills come across my desk that bill for a four month period instead of a two month period.  If you're an autopay customer, check your statements to see if the water department debited your account for a July bill.  If they didn't, start putting some pennies aside - - $350-$400 in one lump sum can be a tough pill to swallow.
