Maria and her family have lived in the same Southeast Houston home for decades.
"I’m scared," said Maria Lucio. They say they have never received a water bill even close to $6,000.
After the "adjustments" listed on the bill, the family now owes almost $6,000. They say they’ve never missed a "current charge" listed on the bill, and they don’t understand where the thousands of dollars in "adjustments" came from.According to the Lucio family, the city is charging them for using about 163,000 gallons of water. That’s roughly 5,500 full bath tubs.
"If they’re not being intentionally picked on, they’re definitely being put on the back burner or ignored," said Rosie Lucio, Maria’s daughter.FOX 26 did locate a water main break roughly a mile from the Lucio’s home. However, the family says this break has only been there for a few days, and the "adjustments" started showing up on the bills weeks ago. Also, the Lucio’s have asked their neighbors, so far none of them have noticed unusual water bills.
Hernandez works as a plumber. He says he has checked the family’s property several times and can’t find any issues. Also, the water meter appears to be running accurately.
