Fam. When you see my story you're going to lol so loud just knowing somebody finally caught their ass😂. I'm not from hear and I'm my own investigator and then I go hire a lawyer when I cracked the case so my attorney doesn't have to work that hard. After my case everyone's should get dropped and Atlanta can finally know that our water supplier definitely isn't shooting straight AT ALL NOT EVEN A LITTLE BIT. Luke 8:17 is the scripture Watershed just got dealt.⌛️📖💪🏿 They have no clue how I had to pray on this. Think God I fear God.
I actually caught them red handed. After my case is heard I truly believe all charges will be settled on behalf of the residents. Believe it or not, this is Biblical. Luke 8:17📖 I have the ultimate burden of proof against Watershed.⌛️
Why the hell are they so obsessed with making these residential customers pay all this money back? It’s obvious that they physically CANNOT use that much water. Or is it just not their job to think rationally?
That city attorney straight lied to the judge. That meter doesn’t just shut itself down when a leak is detected. She just misrepresented the capability of a piece of govt property. She literally just made that up. The neptune r900i manual addresses both continuous and intermittent leak indication. No where does it state that it automatically shuts itself off. It also has a troubleshooting are that mentions a “an out-of-range reading or corrupt valve”.
Simple math could have searched for the missing million gallons of water - see what the distribution center pumped out, and find the error. Sad that it had to go this far.
The city of Atlanta wants you to believe that there hasn’t been a single broken water meter until this case…🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ The amount of bs I’ve seen from this department in the span of only two short videos is astronomical…
This is insane that people need to prove it's the water company's fault. They need to be held accountable for the criminal behavior. They are stealing money from customers and don't care.
What about the states Weights and Measures. The meter is measuring Volume, just like the Gas station pumps. Those get inspected and certified. The water company is not exempt from the certification process. They just get to self certify the test. But they MUST DO THE TEST
I went to the effort of making an account on Fulton County's website to look up an update on this case. Something happened in the case recently, but I'm not paying 50 cents per page to find out. Dana, we need you!
The residence need to start going after the mayor or city counsel or what the top leadership is. They are responsible for the city waterboard. They have to answer for their waterboard actions.
Working in the industry... I'm pretty saddened by the gap between employee authority (position) and common sense - especially when inappropriate legal protection exists. God bless that man and those home owners. There needs to be monetary compensation above their legals fees for such negligence.
We have the same issue. I am an engineer and have tested my meter myself. I have evidence that the meters measures incorrectly. I believe that I am not the only one and this confirms it. I will be bringing evidence with me to the appeal. But the appeal board will rule against me because it’s not one of the options they have. So I will need to take them to court also.
We may bring a class action lawsuit against the city. I just might be the first person that not only caught their hand in the cookie jar but I caught their whole body in the jar as if they were children and I'm making it known to all. My case is coming soon and it's so embarrassing it might not make it to court due to us only being in the discovery stages. They almost screwed me so bad it's not even funny to a point my story should only be a movie based on Watershed forging and fudging paperwork. Luke 8:17🙏🏿 Criminals can't continue committing crimes forever.
No one thinks that the people who work for watershed are simply going into the computers and manually being selective and manipulating our accounts, and I know for a fact that this is exactly what's happening. Hopefully, my case will help and shine the light on many other cases.
@atlhistory The water meters are faulty. I'm thinking that the electronics and other parts are malfunctioning. The device that is supposed to shut down when the meters are malfunctioning is most likely incorporated into the broken part that is reporting water usage. Last thing why doesn't the water authority send a technician along with one of their board members. Have the technician check the water after meter after looking for leaks. If no leak have a person make sure all faucets etc. in the house are turned off. Then do a water main read. That will also tell you how the water meter is working.
That city attorney should be disbarred. "That situation hasn't occurred" my ass. I don't live in your state and even I know about multiple specific cases in your city of broken meters leading to outrageous bills.
Simple fix to this damn problem. REPLACE THE DAMN METERS!!!! HAVE AN INDEPENDENT TECHNICIAN CHECK THE METERS TO SEE IF THEY'RE FAULTY. Oh, to that woman saying that the device has a safety that shuts off when malfunction. Well, lady, some safety devices malfunction if it is part of the device that is malfunctioning. Still can't believe that this water board and appeals board didn't do the obvious. Put the bills on hold and change out the meter and see what happens. If the new ones read differently, then BINGO the old meter was the issue .
I'm the executor of my father's estate and I was told he had a bill for $25k from 2008. When I asked for the accounting I was told by Watershed they could only see what he owed due to their new systems and that's when my antennas went up and stayed up. I then contacted the commissioners office and the guy I spoke with was able to see my father's account from 2008 and the bill never went over $150.00 the whole year of 2008. And then he sent me the accounting and notes for the account. Now I had the truth in my possession. Longstory short I hired an attorney and we requested the same paperwork I had in my possession and all the numbers changed and their story changed. Watershed is altering documents and we caught them red handed committing fraud and we now believe they've been doing this to everybody. They're kinda of ignoring our accusations right now as we are in the discovery stages. They blamed my deceased father and tried to interfere with the sale of my property and it's so much more to it but this is laughable. When I first hired my attorney I told him not to try and make since of my case because it doesn't make sense.. Thank God I wad able to do diligent research before hiring my attorney. I made my case very easy for him.
Somebody on Atlanta Department of Watershed Management is getting rich. It also sounds like if you live in Atlanta and have any kind of issue with a department you're screwed.
Go through the exercise of estimate actual usage; if the usage is way off from the meter that's evidence enough to take the meter out of the ground and do a controlled test with known usage, recalibrate, and compute new bill.
This appears to be a good ole fashioned shakedown by city officials. If the city wins this case just know there will be more to come. And before you know it anyone could be charged an exorbitant amount of money which will increase each time the customer pays.
How willfully audacious! A company that thinks they are SO good that "we have never had a situation with a malfunctioning water meter." a.k.a. = we are perfect and don't need a plan to address problems in this way because they don't exist! What magical thinking!!! Now we have to wonder, how many of these meters are slowly stealing and are de facto inaccurate, or "broken."
Thanks to this video, Watershed Management is now shut down and its former employees and employer are now in jail for discrimination against law-abiding citizens, refusing to help its now-former customers, violation of civil rights, violation of human rights, violation of city laws, violation of state laws, violation of federal laws, and violation of the Constitution of the United States of America.
I get the point Judge McBurney was trying to make, all sports figures make a ridiculous amount of money… However Ronald Acuna is very famously on one of the cheapest and most team friendly deals in all of sports, possibly in history lol. Like it can not understated how much talent Acuna has and how little the Braves are paying for it…
They're intentionally doing this to a chosen few and I am the executor of my father's estate and they tried hand after death and he caught them red handed. I just might be the only person to catch them changing the damn numbers in their computer. They didn't know I had the original accounting. This just happened during our discovery stages and my attorney is in the process of presenting a concrete confrontation that they won't be able to escape and I'm pissed about it. They were so disrespectful to ne and they insulted my and my diseased father's intelligence to the max and best believe they finally met their match. I plan on letting the people in the city of Atlanta know that we're all be scammed with these erroneous charges and I have the Burden of Proof.
City equipment is at fault.
Fam. When you see my story you're going to lol so loud just knowing somebody finally caught their ass😂.

This is outrageous
How many of these same ppl on this board will be doing perp walks out of court on federal corruption charges 2-3 years from now?
zero
I actually caught them red handed. After my case is heard I truly believe all charges will be settled on behalf of the residents. Believe it or not, this is Biblical. Luke 8:17📖 I have the ultimate burden of proof against Watershed.⌛️
If this judge rules against these homeowners he’s just as disgusting as the water company and their lying lawyer
Why the hell are they so obsessed with making these residential customers pay all this money back? It’s obvious that they physically CANNOT use that much water. Or is it just not their job to think rationally?
probably somebody doing something naughty
@ in the water company? Probably.
American politicians have normalized using property taxes or utilities as a scam to steal property for reselling/profit.
I hate these government kangaroo courts. I was in one where their lawyer told me that the post office never lose mail.
That city attorney straight lied to the judge. That meter doesn’t just shut itself down when a leak is detected. She just misrepresented the capability of a piece of govt property. She literally just made that up. The neptune r900i manual addresses both continuous and intermittent leak indication. No where does it state that it automatically shuts itself off. It also has a troubleshooting are that mentions a “an out-of-range reading or corrupt valve”.
Judge remanded the case back to the appeals board on 06/03/2024. It looks like their case hasn't been re-heard by the board yet.
Simple math could have searched for the missing million gallons of water - see what the distribution center pumped out, and find the error. Sad that it had to go this far.
The city of Atlanta wants you to believe that there hasn’t been a single broken water meter until this case…🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
The amount of bs I’ve seen from this department in the span of only two short videos is astronomical…
Wooow this is crazy.
I need help my water bill is 6000 they won’t credit me and I’m a renter I’m in court as we speak
I’m wondering if this is deeper than what it is 😮
IS THERE A HIGH POWER-LAWYER TO TAKE THIS CASE.....IT ABSOLUTELY NO WAY THIS BILL CAN BE THIS AMOUNT
What a gutless judge...if the system doest provide remedy then make them change it.....jeez louise.
This is insane that people need to prove it's the water company's fault. They need to be held accountable for the criminal behavior. They are stealing money from customers and don't care.
What about the states Weights and Measures. The meter is measuring Volume, just like the Gas station pumps. Those get inspected and certified. The water company is not exempt from the certification process. They just get to self certify the test. But they MUST DO THE TEST
If the city can't prove the bill is right, they shouldn't be allowed to charge it. The city should be facing grand theft charges.
Wow. Just wow!
Crazy
I am seeing too many videos on this issue with the Atlanta water department. This is very sad 😢
What a disgrace, that a city would abuse their citizens like that. Obviously not the fault of these people.
I went to the effort of making an account on Fulton County's website to look up an update on this case.
Something happened in the case recently, but I'm not paying 50 cents per page to find out. Dana, we need you!
what a rip off they doing to customers WHAT A shame ATLANTA
The process to remedy this issue is HORRIBLE 😡!!
It is really DARK there
The residence need to start going after the mayor or city counsel or what the top leadership is. They are responsible for the city waterboard. They have to answer for their waterboard actions.

Track this case; if it goes against them, demand jury trial.
@@avenger1888 that's too much work for them if 4 issues aren't on the list then there is no wrongdoing on their part lol.
backward justification the city needs to prove they used that much water and cannot...
That city attorney should be disbarred. "That situation hasn't occurred" my ass. I don't live in your state and even I know about multiple specific cases in your city of broken meters leading to outrageous bills.
The uk is dealing with a similar situation. Their post office actually argued that it wasn’t possible for computer software to be wrong.
Simple fix to this damn problem.

to much work for them, they deny everyone and get paid.
Seems to be a trend there in Atlanta to be charged excessively by the water dept!
The entire city of residents should show up at the city water company and demand all be fired
Does anyone know what happened?
Now, look at all the infrastructure issues with water main breaks in ATL. Its the city's burden.
BS. Your saying you have never had a meter malfunction and keep running? A broken meter is a leaking meter. It is leaking the customers money.
Somebody on Atlanta Department of Watershed Management is getting rich. It also sounds like if you live in Atlanta and have any kind of issue with a department you're screwed.
The whole things sounds fishy to me.
Water board is embezzling money
Go through the exercise of estimate actual usage; if the usage is way off from the meter that's evidence enough to take the meter out of the ground and do a controlled test with known usage, recalibrate, and compute new bill.

It’s a kangaroo court and the city shouldn’t be able to make it impossible to correct the issue
So what I hear from this is if my meter is broken, to make it leak.
Always the City of Atlanta. 😂 trying to compete with oakland?
The judge should rule in the home owner favor
Vote for better management in the city......obviously current mayor and board members are missing common sense and common decency.
Thanks to this video, Watershed Management is now shut down and its former employees and employer are now in jail for discrimination against law-abiding citizens, refusing to help its now-former customers, violation of civil rights, violation of human rights, violation of city laws, violation of state laws, violation of federal laws, and violation of the Constitution of the United States of America.
Don't make stuff up.
You can’t teach stupid people common sense.
Why isnt common sense being used anymore?
BS
I get the point Judge McBurney was trying to make, all sports figures make a ridiculous amount of money… However Ronald Acuna is very famously on one of the cheapest and most team friendly deals in all of sports, possibly in history lol. Like it can not understated how much talent Acuna has and how little the Braves are paying for it…
Insanity! Same thing with our country's southern border!
Trash govt look at them lol
DEI board
The Absurdity!! Why hasn't Arthur Blank paid this bill for this couple!! Dana why didn't you bring up the Arthur Blank water bill issue.
They're intentionally doing this to a chosen few and I am the executor of my father's estate and they tried hand after death and he caught them red handed. I just might be the only person to catch them changing the damn numbers in their computer. They didn't know I had the original accounting. This just happened during our discovery stages and my attorney is in the process of presenting a concrete confrontation that they won't be able to escape and I'm pissed about it.
