Abstract

Apartment building owners have been awarded the difference between their average monthly water bills and increased bills for the first quarter of 1993. Plaintiffs owned an apartment building. Before 1993, the water bill averaged about $79 per month. For the first quarter of 1993, the total bill was more than $750. The building's 26‐year‐old water meter was replaced in April 1993, after which average monthly bills were only slightly higher than pre‐1993 bills. The old meter had never been tested, maintained, or serviced. Also, during the first few months of 1993, no water leaks occurred and no repairs were made to the building's plumbing. The owners sued the city and won a judgement of $524.
