American water made us pay $6,000 in water we have not used but leaked. When we spotted the leak, only 2 weeks after it started and became visible in our front yard, we called our insurance and had the leak fixed right away. However, American Water is making us pay 217,674.5 gallons of wasted water from a leak we were not aware we had. We are paying that amount in two payments because they were not able to extend payments to make it easier for us to pay. They even redirected us to agencies that might be able to help with $500 to which we did not qualify either. We are paying but we are very dissatisfied because agent and manager were not able to offer a proper solution for cases like this. The agent on the phone even said that if we "own" a house we should expect scenarios like this.
