To the editor:<\/p>\n
I addressed City Council last week about the Water Utilities Department.\u00a0 I had a leaking toilet pump which I did not hear as I am partially deaf in my right ear.\u00a0The water dept. paid a courtesy visit. I immediately\u00a0 shut off the water to the toilet.\u00a0When I got a $200 bill, I was told that although I never had a leak in 38 years of city water, when I applied for the one-time credit of $50 I could not get it for the following reason:<\/p>\n
If you use 10,000 gallons or more you can get the credit of $50.\u00a0Since I used 7,000 gallons I do not qualify.\u00a0Where is the logic in that?\u00a0 I was refused someone from city Utilities.\u00a0 He said a supervisor would call but no one did.\u00a0 <\/p>\n
I believe in conservation.\u00a0 This is a Catch-22.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
I told city council that this is the kind of logic they follow.\u00a0 As Spock from Star Trek would say, \u201cIllogical.\u201d<\/p>\n
