You are absolutly correct, all renters are not bad. I have been witness to several renters who take care of the property better than some home owners. In the HRAA annual "Huber Blooms" tour we have had several rental properties listed on the tour, That is pride. I am sorry to hear about your misfortune but we are glad you have choosen to settle here, welcome to the community. jim welch |

Hi Katie-
I was reminded of this during a conversation with a neighbor-it's hard to explain, but if you use less water during December, January and February, it will help save you some money during the summer-below is from another link on our site here-but I have been told to start trying to limit your usage beginning in November (not that all of us aren't already trying to do so!). I hope this helps and I'm sorry for the rude awakening on the water bill. I'll see if I can find any other helpful hints....
Water Usage In Winter Reaps Summer Savings!Remember Ohio American Water will charge no more for our summer Wastewater usage than the average we use during December, January and February.
OAW let us know about this benefit on our bills two years ago but they are no longer reminding us about it. Why? Because they hope we’ll forget about it! In case you haven’t noticed waste water usage costs $8.8358 a cu. ft. while water costs $5.74120 a cu. ft. And they charge the same cu. ft. for each. The theory is we use more water in the 5 months of Summer and because they charge the same cu. ft. for each, saving now will establish a lower usage of waste water in the summer. AND watch your bills! Last year they estimated high usage on several of our February bills! Clever |

If anyone would like to contact me about saving on water bills I would be glad to help! I have supervised a city water division for years and I know all of the tricks to lowering water bills.

Your help would be great any help. All we wanted to do is move our grand children to westerville for the schools, little did we know how high the water bills were going to be! This is crazy. For twenty eight days our bill was 245.00's We didn't even really use it that much when we first moved in. Now as soon as this lease is up we will have to move again, which sucks because we really like it here. We were even thinking of trying to buy here. So if you can help us so we can at least make it through the year we would love it. Thank you so much Kathy Smith |
