CALIFORNIA AMERICA WATER (ALSO KNOWN AS CAL-AM) HAS ADMITTED TO AT LEAST A FEW CASES IN WHICH IT WAS AT FAULT FOR PEOPLE RECEIVING HIGHER THAN APPROPRIATE WATER BILLS. ALTHOUGH A CAL-AM SPOKESPERSON SAID MOST OF THE PROBLEMS WITH THEIR HIGH WATER BILLS APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY LEAKS, MIS-SET IRRIGATION TIMERS AND OTHER CUSTOMER ISSUES AT LEAST A FEW EXTRA HIGH BILLS HAVE INCLUDED ACCOUNTING MISTAKES, AND A MIS-MATCHED WATER METER REGISTER…WHICH IS WHY CAL-AM SAYS EACH CASE NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED INDIVIDUALLY.
