We have lived here for the last 10 years. We always pay our water bill. Occasionally, we’ll forget and receive a final notice for our water bill which we will promptly pay.
Tonight at 8 pm, a city police officer banged on our door with a blinding flashlight in hand. Made me verify my identification and then handed me my water bill (the due date being a week from now)
What the hell!
It’s like that pretty much in every US city.
I grew up in a rural area where we don’t have water bills because our homes have individual wells and septic tanks
Water bills were a weird thing to adjust to when I first moved to the city
