A $50k Water Bill?? Houston Landlord gets Major Help
Now this right here is wild — imagine checking your mail and seeing a $50,000 water bill. That’s exactly what happened to one Houston landlord when a hidden leak ran his bill all the way up.
He tried to get help, but the city wasn’t moving fast enough. So he called in the big guns — KHOU 11. Once their team got involved, city officials finally stepped up, looked into the situation, and realized the crazy charges came from a leak that had been running for months.
After the review, the landlord got some good news — that monster bill was wiped out.
He told KHOU he was beyond thankful because that kind of hit could’ve ruined him financially.
It’s a reminder for all of us in H-Town — check your pipes, check your bills, and don’t be afraid to speak up when something doesn’t add up. Sometimes, it takes a little media pressure to make things right.
