Is it Legal to be Charged for Water Service That Has Been Disconnected?
I disconnected water service at a vacant property but am still being charged. Can the city do this? I cut dead trees on my property and before they could be hauled away, flood waters carried them downstream. The city told me it is my responsibility to clean them up. Is this accurate? Our contractor hired a subcontractor to install a drain. It was done incorrectly and now the city is claiming we have an illegal drain. What should we do? The City told my excavating contractor that my sewer was located in the front of my house, a day and a half was wasted digging. Eventually the sewer was located at the back of the house, and eventually the sewer was replaced at my expense. Can I sue the City for the amount of time that was wasted because the contractor was misinformed? Can I have my eligibility for Medicare re-evaluated based on the loss of child support and the fact that I cannot work? Is it against the law to refuse to give a police officer your age when they ask for it? When a town’s renovations cause the local rat population to move and take up residence on someone’s property, do they have recourse against the city?
