DEP Sent Us a Nasty Letter
I came home from a great day at school to a nasty letter from the DEP. I’ll scan the letter soon and share it here.
The letter states that our water meter is broken and we haven’t called to arrange an appointment to have it fixed so we are going to be charged a lot of money for failure to comply. WHAT?? We hadn’t been contacted by the DEP by phone or letter and this was the first we were hearing of it.
I call the DEP’s office and asked what number they had on file for us. The DEP employee says there is no number in the file. So I ask her why I would receive a letter like this because clearly no one has contacted us. She tells us that we never had our meter connected and it isn’t displaying the water usage. (Yeah okay – here’s a picture of their car at my house on April 19, 2011) She asks if we are getting water bills in our name. YES We are getting ripped off four times a year IN OUR NAME and the bill has been significantly higher since the water meter was installed. That part has to be the most interesting because our bill increased when the meter was installed, but the meter doesn’t even work!
