Business response:

Good afternoon. I apologize for this impact to you and your family. I reviewed this situation and confirmed that the meter that supplies your service was tampered with. I understand how frustrating this situation must be; with an outside meter anyone could have tampered with the service. However, it was necessary for us to inspect the meter and reseal it from the elements. If you would like additional information please contact customer services at 253-502-8600. Thank you.

They turned over the disputed bill to a collection agency, who as of this date HAS NOT contacted me. So, to recap my house burned and they are changing me for not using the water, and now they are assaulting my credit rating. I wish there was some legal recourse. They have never contacted me since I filled out the previous complaint.

No Communication. we set up a temp power pole and had paid for the inspection and installation. the inspector came out and signed off on the permit. we checked the permit line and they said all was ready to install. apparently the install crew went to do it and noticed it wasn't ready. they notified the inspector and he removed the 'ready to go' condition. fair enough, but what they neglected to do was notify us that the condition changed and that they would not be installing it for us. after hours of calling to find out why... read more

What a bunch of shysters. My house burned last Feb. 10, I turned off the water at the street and now they want me to pay $122, because THEY didn't turn it off. No water has been used since the fire, which they can tell by reading the meter. This is outright fraud and legal theft.
