2022 ?2 Excessive Utility (Water) Bill Condition: A local water utility company has a recorded unpaid water bill in excess of $113,000 for the property. Criteria: The local utility company measures water usage each month and invoices the customer for that supposed usage. Cause: The cause of the excessive water bill is undeterminable. Effect: Management is unable to pay a water bill in excess of $113,000 when the property?s usual water bill is approximately $2,000 each month. Recommendation: I recommend management continue to work with the local water utility company to get the bill adjusted to an appropriate amount or determine the cause for the excessive bill. Management Response: - This issue is ongoing. The local newspaper is full of stories of incorrect or conflict about the utility company. This is a local issue that should be addressed by the Chairman of the Board, as the property is located in his area and needs to be addressed at the highest level. This is not a problem that can be solved by the staff, it can only be solved by the Board.
