A Minneapolis woman received a $1,600 water bill, a bill the city believes is accurate even though it’s 20 times the woman’s usual bill. Erica Kocur said her bill is generally $70 to $80 per month. She said her “heart just dropped” when she got her latest bill. The city said she must have a running toilet or dripping faucet. The bill is for 200,000 gallons of water. A shower would have to run nonstop for almost two months to use that much water. The city’s director of treasury, LeeAnn Stagg, said the city believes the bill is accurate, but they will check Kocur’s meter one more time.
