Reporter its a big jump and typically you can go to eymann is a polity and they can help you or look into it usually. But this time, there was no help offered to them. Most municipalities can give you a onetime forgiveness, but this time, nothing. The bill should not be that. Reporter charlotte and her lamplighter on the river Mobile Home Park. We dont have this kind of money to pay this bill. Reporter the typical bill is around 50. The Mobile Home Park has not offered any help in managing this big bill. We have been calling and calling every day and there like will get back with you to work out a plan no nothing. Reporter so she called me to get answers. I found water bills that lamplighter are handled a bit differently than most communities. Each home has a meter but its only read by lamplighter employees. Lamplighter then pays Temple Terrace utilities one big bill for the entire community instead and sends residents a bill for their share. So i checked out how much lamplighter is paying for water and found something interesting. There hasnt been any giant increase in usage. I think its gone down a little reporter the family admits they had a leak last month but fixed it within hours of finding it. So you dont think you used that . Not 129,000 gallons. Reporter more than half of the big bill is sewage cost. Those are based on water usage and guess what, lamplighter handles its own sewage treatment. I went to the onsite manager. They have a 1300 water bill. Reporter and then i spoke with corporate. These residents came to us because seriously are looking into this. Reporter this will be no easy fix but management did agree to take another look at this big bill and explore the same kind of payment reduction options that a public utility could offer. The Management Company tells me this meter was checked after the meter was read in the under and the underground leak was discovered. They believe the meter is correct but there is no that there bill is ticking upward. If the leak was water underground, it wouldnt have been passing through the sewage system what it . Right and thats one of the things i asked him about because that is typically how Public Utilities can help you out is because if they find that you have a week, then you dont have to pay sewage on it but it wasnt offered. So management agreed to look at it. That could be at least somewhat of a fix because 700 of this 530,000 . 129,000. Thats crazy. If you have a problem you need help solving, you better call behnken.
