Subject: [External] Erroneous sewer charges at 7 Dittmer Circle, 81005
xt ai erna;i. Please use cau ion.
Good morning Ms. Keller
In June 2020 sewer charges were erroneously added to my monthly Pueblo water bill. I have a septic system at my
house which I have owned for about 5 years and should not be charged for sewer. Not having a septic tank before, I did
not realize that this was an error when this was added so I paid the extra charges every month. Recently I was told by a
neighbor that i should not need to pay sewer,and I checked this out with the water department. They confirmed that
the charges were in error and they will credit my account for some of the charges but let me know that they are limited
in how far back they can go, and I should contact you to explore receiving the rest of the refund since this billing is in
error.
My account number with Pueblo Water is 060908 Customer number 159741
Please let me know what you need from me to look into this matter and grant a refund or credit.
Thank you.
Karen
