Baytown couple to challenge $1455 water bill under new appeal process
Dennis and Stuart Turnbull face a shockingly high January bill for their Harold Lane home after a history of small charges. They say no usage justified the spike and expect a February bill around $69 as they pursue the city’s new water bill appeal procedure. The pair, who have lived at the address since 1967, report offhand reactions from the Utility Billing Office and plan to continue the case.
