Some say their monthly bill is two to three times higher than usual after the city installed their new water meter. However, Columbia Water told News19 the new meters shouldn t greatly affect customer charges. My bill was $43.68 and then it jumps to $132.70, and that was about three weeks after the new meter,” Sandie York said while siifting through her water bills.
