Water Leak $4000 Bill

[Trevor F.]

I had a huge water leak that occurred at one of my rental properties leading to a little of $4000 owed to the water company. I fixed the issue and stopped the leakage. Is anyone familiar with the process in Ohio for trying to get a credit from the water company? Is it even possible? This occurred in Toledo.

 Call them and talk to them, sometimes you can get a credit on the sewer/waste side of the bill (Which is typically the more expensive part) if it was a leak and not a running toilet etc. Best to talk with them and ask for forgiveness.
