How do you calculate the back-billed amount to make sure that I have not been overcharged?

Your water meter measures how much water you use. Even if the readings aren’t being transmitted properly, the meter continues to measure usage. We review those measurements, compare the actual water used to the amount paid for through estimated billing, and charge the difference.
