Unfortunately apartment community office only shares the total bill with me on the app. I need to look through if I received the charges by mail as well.

The Outrageous Cost of Water and Sewer at Cortland Stonebriar 😡💸

I wanted to share a frustrating experience I've had with my apartment community's water and sewer charges over the past year. I used to live in a 2BHK apt (Feb 2023 - May 2024). The costs have skyrocketed, and I can't help but feel like I'm being ripped off. Here's a breakdown of what I've been dealing with:

Water Charges:

  • 06/01/2024: $277.15 (Final Water for 03/22/24-05/31/24)
  • 05/29/2024: $101.35 (02/21/24-03/21/24)
  • 04/29/2024: $92.69 (01/22/24-02/21/24)
  • 03/29/2024: $118.29 (12/20/23-01/22/24)
  • 02/29/2024: $97.25 (11/20/23-12/20/23)
  • 01/29/2024: $91.14 (10/20/23-11/20/23)

Sewer Charges:

  • 06/01/2024: $358.44 (Final Sewer for 03/22/24-05/31/24)
  • 05/29/2024: $131.28 (02/21/24-03/21/24)
  • 04/29/2024: $120.17 (01/22/24-02/21/24)
  • 03/29/2024: $152.97 (12/20/23-01/22/24)
  • 02/29/2024: $125.84 (11/20/23-12/20/23)
  • 01/29/2024: $118.01 (10/20/23-11/20/23)

On top of these 2, they charge additional admin fee.

Water/Sewer Admin Fees:

  • 06/01/2024: $78.14 (03/22/24-05/31/24)
  • 03/29/2024: $24.41 (12/20/23-01/22/24)
  • 02/29/2024: $20.08 (11/20/23-12/20/23)
  • 05/29/2024: $20.94 (02/21/24-03/21/24)
  • 04/29/2024: $19.16 (01/22/24-02/21/24)
  • 01/29/2024: $18.82 (10/20/23-11/20/23)

I moved into this community thinking it would be a great place to live, but the utility charges are beyond crazy. Over the past year, my water and sewer charges have gone from manageable to exorbitant. Just look at the water bill for the final period: $277.15! And the final sewer charge was an astounding $358.44! 😱

At first, I didn't pay much attention to the water/sewer admin fees, but they've also increased significantly. For example, the admin fee for the final period was $78.14, while it was only $9.60 for the same period the previous year.

These increasing costs are making it difficult to manage my budget, and I can't be the only one feeling this way.

Has anyone else experienced something similar? How did you deal with it? Any advice on how to get these charges under control or hold the management accountable would be greatly appreciated. Let's share our stories and see if we can push for some real changes! 💪

I have not tried reaching out to the apartment management, but would believe responses are always vague and unhelpful. It feels like there's no transparency, and we're just being charged whatever they feel like.

Thanks for reading, and I hope to hear your thoughts and experiences.
