Atlanta residents are questioning the city’s water billing process as two cases of bafflingly high water bills have recently brought the issue to the forefront. Business owner Jeff Raw, head of Revive Construction Group, is currently saddled with a nearly $30,000 bill for an empty lot with no water line – a charge that seems to defy reason. Despite an appeal, the Department of Watershed Management and the Sewer and Water Appeals Board have upheld the sky-high fee. As Hoodline reported, Raw contended, “We never used water from our meter,” challenging the legitimacy of the billing process which he called a “kangaroo court.”
