Water Bill Increase nearly 150% in 1 month

[Tim Kunz]

This question is coming from the tenant side of the world but hopefully some of you landlords can give me some insight.  Each month I'm charged for water which is just a number provided on my monthly bill which is taped to my door.  It includes both gallons used and cost.  Between February and March my water usage went down by a few gallons but my bill increased from $58 to $84.  I reached out to the property manager and they told me the city increased the rates on them.  I looked at the city's website and couldn't find anything related to increased water rates, with the last increase being August 2017.  I asked the property manager for documentation on this because a 150% increase doesn't seem normal, they told me they will talk to the owner and maybe get me a copy of the billing.  I feel like the property manager/landlord is trying to pull a fast one on me?  What would you guys do if put in a similar situation?
