Everything's Bigger in Texas, but a $67,000 Water Bill?

Texas Water Lawyer & Texas Water Rights Attorney Trey Wilson wrote:

Tom Hoffman of Dallas, Texas received a second incorrect water bill over $66,000.    The second erroneous--and enormous--bill of $67,000 came a few months after the first one.

Mr. Hoffman had cancelled his auto-draft payment system after the first one hit his account for more than $66,000.  That bill froze his accounts until the error was finally fixed after some time.

City officials report that the erroneous bills were due to a broken water meter and computer issues.

The City of Dallas spokesman, Frank Librio, stated that the meter has finally been replaced  and an accurate bill will follow.  Mr. Librio also apologized for the error and the inconvenience.
