Atlanta Homeowner Warren Borders Fights $45K Water Bill
ATLANTA, Ga. - An Atlanta homeowner is fighting a water bill of more than $45,000. The property is a modest, 1,000 square-foot home with just one bathroom.
The homeowner, Warren Borders, said the water bill has ranged from $3,000 to $7,000. He said the total water bill is more than he paid for the property, which he purchased from foreclosure.
A plumber Borders hired could not find any leaks in the pipes on his side of the property.
Borders said he has followed all the steps the city has given him, and gone to the Independant Water Appeals Board, but so far the charges have not been dropped. Borders believes that the leak could be on the city's side of the property.
Janet Ward, A spokesperson for Atlanta's water department, says the high water bill is not the city's fault and she says a technician is ready to meet with the homeowner to show him why.
