$11,000 Water Bill

I believe that that pipe will serve you well.

Under your circumstances, I'm pretty surprised that the contractor just unilaterally decided to use a different pipe than you were told!!

I think the plumber should be paying the utility full shot. He cut corners and caused all of this fuss and waste. If people would just do their jobs the world would be a much better place with much less stress.

We finally have an update!

Somehow the builder was able to negotiate the insane water bill down to $625. He paid the bill in full yesterday and as of today our account has a $0 balance! My wife and I really didn't see that coming, but we are both glad that we reached a resolution on that front.

As for the replacement of the water line - the builder has ordered the pipe and it should be installed next week. The builder is doing the right thing and getting it taken care of, but it did take some effort on our part.

Ill provide another update when the water line is replaced. I would like to thank everyone on here for their support. It has been a difficult few weeks, but the support and comments from everyone has helped put things into perspective.

Seems the OP gave us the update back on post #164 that builder took care of water bill....

Yes - all is well again. Bill was paid for and the new water line was hooked into the Meter/House yesterday. Crossing my fingers that this marks the end of the water line saga.

The plumber paid $625 of 11,000... that's 5%! I don't think that is proper. He caused the waste. All of the other users subsidized his laziness. That is a big part of what is wrong with the world today....
