Florida Governmental Utility Authority [FGUA] review: Overcharge and above national charge for service

I am writing to formally express my concern regarding the water charges imposed by [Company Name], which appear to significantly exceed the national average. I recently received a bill of nearly $100 for using approximately 3,000 gallons of water. I believe this usage does not reflect my actual consumption, making the charges both questionable and unaffordable.

Based on these rates, a family of four could potentially incur water bills of $400 or more per month. This is an alarming expense, particularly when considering other household costs such as rent, which ranges from $1,500 to $2,500, and electricity bills that average $400 to $600. These cumulative expenses place an immense financial burden on residents, leaving little room for necessities such as food or other living costs.

To illustrate, when I owned a home in Syracuse, NY, my family of four paid approximately $50 for water every three months—a stark contrast to the current charges. This discrepancy raises serious questions about the fairness and accuracy of [Company Name]'s pricing.

I urge your office to investigate this matter thoroughly and provide transparency regarding the basis for these charges. If no resolution is forthcoming, I intend to escalate the issue by bringing it to the attention of the media and social networks to ensure that this practice is publicly scrutinized.

I look forward to your prompt response and action to address this matter.
