Surprises Arrive with Latest Water Bills

'Where's that 1,000-gallon credit they're supposed to give us?'

Paul Welker of Dunbar doesn't understand why he and his neighbors saw
their water bills go up in January, despite being unable to use their
water for a week. He doesn't think water used for flushing his lines after
the Freedom Industries chemical spill accounts for the increase he found
on his bill.
.
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Some West Virginia American Water customers were
surprised this week to see increases on their most recent water bill --
despite being unable to use their water for several days.
.
"These water bills should have stayed the same," said Dunbar resident Paul
Welker. "I think the water company's ripping us off."
.
1,000-gallon credit on their bills so they wouldn't have to pay for the
water used in flushing the pipes. However, when water bills came out this
week -- including the period between the chemical leak and the time
residents were told it was safe to flush their lines -- many customers
received bills showing their water usage had gone up.
.
"Everyone I've talked to said their bill has gone up, not down," said
Loretta Jividen, who lives with her husband, Rex, across Highland Avenue
from Welker.
.
Welker and the Jividens saw their water bill increase by only a few
dollars in January. However, one of their neighbors saw the bill go up
from about $43 in December to about $57 in January, and one elderly woman
on a fixed income in the neighborhood saw her bill go up from $70.65 to
$99.11.

"We were out of town for two days during the water crisis, and we haven't
been using the water for anything but flushing the toilet," he said. Even
after being cleared to flush his water lines, Machado said, he and his
wife are still drinking and cooking with bottled water.
.
"Where's that 1,000-gallon credit they're supposed to give us?"
.
Water company spokeswoman Laura Jordan said the water residents used to
flush out their pipes might account for much of the increase in use. She
said the water company is still working out details with the state Public
Service Commission on how to apply the water credit.
.
"Those [credits] have not been applied yet," Jordan said. "Customers will
see that on a future bill.
