Rant incoming--
We moved within San Antonio back in March. Our water bill would be ~$40-50 a month which, I always thought was a tad bit high for water, but whatever. We move 10 minutes down the road to a slightly bigger home, and now our water bill is averaging a little over a hundred for these past couple of months.
Both residences are connected for water via SAWS (San Antonio Water System) but the previous address' sewage is connected to SAWS, and my new address is connected to SARA. Again, we're still living within San Antonio city limits.
Now with the new sewage provider in SARA, we're paying over $55 in sewage fees (not actual water usage) because the company has not calculated our "winterized average sewer rate," whatever the fuck that means and why the fuck those months, in particular, are so important to determine such a rate. So we're paying this "unaveraged" rate until the months of December, January and February passes, at which point SARA will "average" those sewer rates (specific to my household), and the new price will be reflected in my bill in, wait for it... October of 2025! This process will also continue every year and no rebate/refund will be received should the rate be decreased.
So my question is, well, like, wtf man? No recourse or anything.
