Atlanta man fights $5,000 water bill
An Atlanta homeowner is the latest resident to hit a wall with the Department of Watershed Management (DWM) after receiving a staggering $5,000 water bill for a single month. Despite the city's insistence that the usage is accurate, professional inspections have failed to find a source for the spike. The resident, Mr. Smith, says he followed the city's standard protocol by hiring a private plumber to sweep his property. However, the plumber confirmed there is no leak, leaving Smith stuck in a "billing limbo" that has become a recurring nightmare for Atlanta residents.
