One of the perks of renting is that if something goes wrong with the house, and it isn't our fault, we have someone who is supposed to fix it for us...
Unfortunately something has gone wrong. We noticed that even on a hot, dry day when no one was running any sprinklers, there was a wet path appearing to come from the water meter at the end of the driveway. So Jamaal looked, and our meter was filled with water...
There is apparently this rule that if there is a problem between the meter and the house then it is the home owners' responsibility to pay for the problem. But if there is a problem between the meter and the street, the city is responsible. Again, unfortunately it is between the meter and the house...so somehow we are going to have to have it fixed. Fortunately for us, it is the home owners responsibility...we won't have to pay it. But perhaps we will be without water for a couple hours/days while it is getting fixed. Oh well...one thing that sucks for us is that the price of our water bill has gone up $20 over a period of 2 months, last month I just thought we were using more water because it was hotter out, so I didnt think much of it. The inspector said that our landlords should pay the difference...I don't know that we'll be that lucky though...it would be nice however...
