I've always heard Baton Rouge has pretty good water. Is that not true?

The water is great.

The company operates like it’s still 2002 or something.

You can set up automatic drafting from your “smart bill” but there’s no way to manage it at all once you set it up. If you need to change something you have to call them, cancel your autopay, wait for your next bill, and set it up again.

Boeing made a plane with software in the autopilot that intentionally flew the planes straight into the ground.

Does Baton Rouge Water Company have its own long running joke?

What's Black and Yellow and sleeps twelve?

I had to remove myself from automatic billing because they kept fricking it up. My water was turned off several times and I had no heads up that money was even due

They base their bill on your water usage not what you actually run down the sewer, so you are paying sewer if you are watering your lawn, etc..


Get an irrigation meter even is just for hoses to water your yard.

but from their site:

quote:

The sewer user fee is based upon consumption for the months of October, November, December, February, March and April and watering is usually very limited during these months. If you would like to have an additional meter installed, we can make the installation provided we receive the necessary information to establish the account along with the payment of a new service fee.

why in the hell do they charge a service fee for paying online?

No other company that I pay charges a fee.

It's terrible.

Yes there is it’s BWWB (Birmingham Water Works Board) here in Birmingham, Al.

I think it could win the National Championship of worst companies in America every year.
