高水费/污水费帐单

If you have a high water / sewer bill, and the bill indicates the meter reading is an “Actual” reading, that means the volume of water you were billed for was accurately measured by your water meter. LCA has no way of investigating where the water goes after it 通过你的水表. 在故障排除指南中,我们 provide some helpful hints and tips for how to find leaks or determine if that high volume of water is still flowing through your meter.

估计的费用

If you received a water bill from LCA that is marked “E” or “estimated,” LCA was unable to obtain an accurate meter reading for that particular billing cycle and your bill was estimated based 在您以前的使用历史. 如果我们能解决这个问题 during the next billing cycle, your bill will be adjusted to reflect 你的实际用水量. “估计”水费的原因 may include any type of physical barrier that makes your meter readout inaccessible including excessive snow or ice, overgrown shrubbery, or other meter related issues, in which case your bill will be estimated until we can determine the source of the problem.

一旦获得“实际”或“A”仪表读数, the difference between the estimated usage and actual usage may make your bill seem higher than normal, 然而, the bill is catching up with actual consumption that was not billed for when an estimate was used. If the estimated usage was higher than the actual usage credit will appear on your account, 哪些可以用于未来的账单.
