water bills from their location. We were the developers of this particular
parcel of ground, which c'ontains the subject Goodyear store, so I have been
asked to research the situation to see why the water bills are running so
extremely high.
There are two questions that initially come to mind when I look at the
water bills for the months of July and August. The first is, "Why are
there three separate water bills?" It is difficult to understand why this
user, which uses water for the store and irrigation only, should require
three meters. The second and more pressing question is, "How can the water
bills for this store possibly run so high?"
Both Goodyear and we ourselves have substantial experience with this type
of property, and are basing our concern on norms experienced at similar
stores throughout the country. Perhaps there is some problem with either
the m6tering device or with property identification, or with both.
Pleaee look into both of the above questions, and see if you can advise me
ae to why this situation exists. Incidentally, I have only seen billings
for the months of July and August, so I have no reference for any bills
beyond that date. Any additional information you can provide regarding
what can be expected in ongoing costs of water would also be very helpful.
