We got a water bill last summer for 6 times our normal bill and we've been fighting it ever since. They say we must have had a leak or something that billing period (and if we can show them a plumber's bill proving we fixed this fictional leak, they'll give us a discount). We've lived in this house for 14 years. Why won't they accept an average of all the billing periods before and since? We've had numerous letters back and forth with no resolution. Just recently we also started receiving our neighbor's water bill as well, with his name on the bill but our address. Something is definitely broken. So Joe, where do we go from here? Count us in on the Water Dept. suckers class action suit.

But my boyfriend just moved here and got a house on Cleveland's west side and will have to pay for water. He had to pay a $375 deposit just to get the water transfered into his name! Supposedly this deposit can be used toward future bills, or returned after stopping or changing service. I have never, ever heard of a utility company charging this much money as a deposit to turn on an essential service, even when your credit is great. - om4padme1 I have never paid for water/sewer living in Cleveland and the surrounding areas.
