for a neighbor a couple of days ago - apparently this has been happening to
other folks across the city and it's because the bureau of water and waste
water at the city is starting to use a different system (trying to upgrade
finally) - and it has a few hic-ups now and then. Call Mary Pat Clarke's
office, Cindy (her staff person) can help. Or call the customer service
number on the bill, and they will probably tell you the same thing and re-work
the bill.<br>
<br>
Hope this helps.<br>
