I’ll confess. I don’t really need plumbing help but I do have advice on a situation. I’ll try to be brief but be detailed…
The city water works has recently deemed my account as a dual connection since my son moved in a mobile home onto my property and I T’d off my existing water line.
They are doubling my monthly rate but not doubling the amount of gallons that come with the basic service (2000 gallons)
I argued that I don’t mind paying double but I should get double the minimum. They act as if they are losing revenue or actual water somehow. I explained it’s all metered. Every ounce.
So, this has sent me into discussing this with their water board and it has also sent me into the legalities of what they are doing.
My belief and thoughts…When I have a leak on my side …They say that’s your problem. It’s your pipes. With that being said how is it that they can tell me that I cannot split off my pipe to another direction. It’s doesn’t cost them any extra for me to do that. It doesnt loose any revenue for them. After all it not their pipes.
