This. Like I said last time you posted this thread, when the water company broke my meter and left, I still had to pay for the 57,000 gallons of water that let loose to flood my street. And had to get a friend to fix it. All on a dark, late, Friday night in 30 degree weather. Your neighbor will get zip.

After a lot of digging, they found the leak under the driveway so now they have about 25' to repour.

Went thru the same crap with a $700 water bill from a leak. So I bought a Flume Ii water meter wireless sensor to measure usage from anywhere and alert me to leaks https://flumewater.com/product/

So why are you tampering with something that clearly you have no business touching?

Glad you finally admit you are making your money off others. I had the same thing happen to me and I did exactly what your nieghbor is doing to trap the thief. But my thief was not stupid enough to get a tamper charge.


So how old are you? Have you been scamming your whole life?

Yadkin's given out his age many times, as well as a lot of personal information, Bob. Because he's not afraid. Not a coward. Not hiding.

What are you hiding from, Bob? How old are YOU?

Actually, the deal here is that Rick buys dinner for Baby Doll and I at The Artisanal. Should be about a $600 bill, so he's getting a great deal.

So why would it not be my business to investigate a water supply issue, Bob?

Little Bobby's afraid of having to admit that he's Ant Farmer, and killed his friend driving drunk.

The bill is very detailed it shows the water use. By your posts you were turning their valve on and off and now it is leaking is that correct?


Let's try to stick to facts not your and delusional Doug's made up stories.

Are you 62 or 63 years old?

Strike one!

Answer the question that is relative to the OP, Bob.

Here's the second pitch:

Sure you can pretend to investigate all you want. But the bill shows obvious water use not a Leaky pipe. But you tampering with the meter and from what you posted causing a leak is on you moron.

I'll take that as your answer, that you were wrong before, and now understand that it is my business to investigate. Thanks.

However your posts raises two more questions.

1. Even the water company asserts that the up to 2400 gpd events are leaks. They just assert that the leaks are after the meter. What makes you believe that a water flow of about 29 times normal is "obvious water use not a Leaky pipe"?

2. How is my investigation "tampering"?

OK I will type slowly for you look at the bill a few days with a little use then none then a bunch then none again rinse and repeat. Your bad toilet flapper was ridiculous.

From what you post you turned the water off at their meter causing a leak. I keep forgetting I am dealing with a moron. Your tampering that you had no business touching caused damage.

Why don't you go **** with the electrical meter so they can get more fines.


Like I first said having multiple homes I have had this happen as well I trusted the wrong person with one of my homes. I never checked my auto bills as well. So my trusted friend rented out my place. Some little things were noticed so we looked at past bills like your neighbor did then showed the bills just like he did to see what song and dance you would come up with.

I was getting crazy water bills one summer and the water company replaced the meter. Bills went back to normal. I asked them about refunding me on the extra 70,000 gallons. The good people of American Water basically told me to go shit in a hat.
