My latest water bill shows a month past due. It says two months will be withdrawn from my checking account on March 25th.

I phoned and was told it was because of going from February to March and the bill is dated the same day my payment was made by the bank.

My concern is that their computer says $106.12 will be withdrawn in March, and I got no assurance that the computer would be corrected before that can happen.

I don't recall this happening in years past.

Did everybody get a bill like this?

I no longer have the water bill set up on auto withdraw; however, I did at the time payments were being made from my Dad's account (while the house was his). There were a few times I felt it was wiser to have the payment made earlier in the month so I cut a check and paid it directly. If a direct payment is made, it stops the auto withdraw because no balance is due. If you are concerned about the amount to be withdrawn, you might make the single month payment (that is actually due) to override the double payment that is a risk. I would also verify the account then has a zero balance (of course, I'm often a "belt and suspenders" person). The auto withdraw should resume in April. Good luck!

I found it amusing that an automatic payment could be overdue. I just wrote down the amount and will keep an eye on March.

Misread the thread title as "Erogenous water bill"

I am disappoint.

Something else about our water department that I think is absolute bs-they charge an additional $6.00 if you pay your bill via credit card.

This totally baffles me, too. Many businesses won't take checks anymore.

It's pretty much coming to a WTF moment. Only check I write anymore is to.my barber. Fortunately for me, being old and follicly challenged, that only happens 6 times a year.

yes and I was not even past due it was due in 2 days and my rate is 52.06 a month for 5,000 gallons and they threw a pay now or get disconnected note on my door so I ended up paying 380.00 for a bill I did not owe yet when I called Eve I think her name was says at the water department and she laughed talk to the Major or go to a City Counsel Meeting WTF
