Yes. The estimated bill came to $7,500 (US) plus. I almost choked. Thank heaven, an understanding city worker discovered that a newly installed electronic meter reset to zero and somehow compounded our reading. We owe under $100. Whew. We were grateful for the quick resolution and our advocate’s joking attitude lightening the stress.
This ‘sprite’ can bring good things, too. Heavy rain brought a visitor seeking shelter.

I think I'd have a heart attack to get a bill like that!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad he didn't. :D
DeleteI can't imagine me getting a bill like that! I would have one of only teo reactions. Neither good ones. It's fun that you got to see the toad there like that. :-)

DeleteThe Hubby would have blown his top if we received a water bill like that!
ReplyDeleteGood that it was an error, but sheesh!
It was a tumultuous afternoon, for sure. Be well!
DeleteThat's a huge bill indeed. Yikes.
ReplyDeleteLove your cute little visitor.
Have a fabulous weekend, Darla. Big hug. ♥
~hugs~
DeleteI love things like your frogs in the garden. Adorable. As for that BILL....oh my gosh, sorry to be so point blank, I would have shit! If that had happened I would have been afraid to turn the water on to clean up....
ReplyDeleteThanks! And we had some shaky moments that left us both questioning every move.
Delete"We was toad to wait here."
ReplyDeleteI love it! Thank you for the giggle.
DeleteOh my. I'm glad you got that resolved quickly. What a mess.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I think the hole in your bedroom ceiling was worse. Ugh...
DeleteYikes! That must have been scary to get a bill like that. Glad it was an error. Cute toad. :) XO
ReplyDelete~hugs~
DeleteThat is a cute toad. I'd choke too with a water bill like that!!!
ReplyDeleteThey are such cute creatures. And I'm thankful we found a quick resolution. :D
DeleteI wonder if you had a heart attack after receiving such a bill, you could sue.
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid toad doesn't look very cuddly.
Good question! I did pick up the toad and enjoyed the experience more than the poor amphibian thinking the garage/driveway were safe. Heh...
DeleteOh My Heavens, what a water bill that would be were it accurate! As it is, I often hear dad scolding mom for her OCD handwashing habits, long showers, etc., but man, I don't think she could run up something like that one!!! Good to catch up, my dear. Dad's been struggling to keep up with all here, too. If I could manage our blog on my own I would.
ReplyDeleteI questioned all my OCD habits, for sure. Best wishes to you and yours, my dear Cleo.
