Houston utilities in the news
KHOU-11 ran a couple of interesting stories involving Houston utilities this week.
Wendell Edwards reported yesterday that Reliant Energy would be turning off approximately 100 streetlights in the Mission Bend area over a billing dispute. That area has suffered through numerous home invasions and driveway robberies over the last year.
Also, Jeff McShan reported on a citizen's complaint about water billing practices by the city of Houston:
Public Works spokesperson Wes Johnson confirmed the rollover billing process. Pat Trahan, with the mayor's office, says the Public Works Department will be looking into the billing process, and there's a chance there will be some changes.
Changes or not, the billing process should be better explained.
If you buy water from the city of Houston, it might be worth checking your water meter against your bills from the city.
