Glendale Water AZ Glendale Water bases Serwer rates on 3 month Dec, Jan, Feb so if you have a sprinkler leak the rest of the year you pay that rate. Glendale Arizona

I live in Glendale AZ. I use about 6k-7k gallons of water a month. My Sewer fees are adjusted by water rate for 3 month, Dec, Jan, Feb. I had a dripper valve go bad and was watering the plants 24/7 for several days. It states that I used 30k gallons during the months that Glendale Water uses to calculate the entire year. So I fixed the bad valve but notice that my bill went from $22 a month to now $83 a month and now I am required to pay that for the entire year until it resets the next Dec, Jan, Feb. I cant believe the water dept can get away with ripping me off like this. I will now have to pay $720 more for the year because outdated billing practices. Personally, I think it should be illegal to change someone for something they dont use.
