Binghamton - Huge Water / Sewer Bill Increase

Charles Giovanniello

Hello all,

I own a property in the city of Binghamton and have noticed a huge increase in my water bills. Normally they are around $200-$300 billed every 4 months but in July i got hit with a huge $1400 bill, which is more than i allotted for my yearly water expenses! I called the company who sent someone to take a look along with my property manager but they did not find any leaks or anything out of the ordinary. My tenants also claim they haven't made any changes in their water usage but they would be more conscious of it... 

This month i was hit again with another $750 bill, and i'm not sure what to do at this point. I found this article stating that there's been an increase in water / sewage due to recent construction at the water treatment plant, but these bills are hundreds of percent more than i've been paying over the years.

Anyone in the Binghamton area having a similar experience? Any advice that someone could give would be greatly appreciated!
