Ridgewood NJ, readers are asking residents to check your water bill. Many have noticed that they were charged a small “interest”  fee on there bill. The reader insisted they were an “on time payer” and had a zero balance after the last payment.
From the Facebook group it takes a Ridgewood Village  a writer commented , “I called  water today and said I have never paid my bill late and she said she will “look into it”. I am paying bills today and that was not acceptable. It is only .84 cents but it’s the principle, I am not paying for something that I do not owe.”Check your water bills very carefully to see if you were charged interest. If there is a computer glitch, they need to be held accountable for fixing it.

Reader have as in the past debated the accuracy of their water bills  and the ability of consumers to test and monitor their own water usage .
