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.
