Minol's rebuttal is partially true. My complex's meters do need some upgrading, but I think Minol is using that as an excuse to overbill customers. How do you explain almost 3 months of water bills being $50 or less on the same "broken" meter Minol claims I had and charged me $130+ all those months. Thank God my complex fired them!!!

It is my personal experience that this company DOES overbill and is using questionable billing practices. I too have experienced outrageous water charges, pushing 4k gallons a month, just impossible! Contacted Minol only to get the runaround as you have described.
I think it is very convenient for Minol to put the blame on your complex since Minol no longer is employed by them.

Thank you for looking into the issue. Had I been aware of this a year ago, I wouldn't have been so harsh. My complex blames you and now you are blaming the complex. It's hard for a consumer to know who to go to when issues arise. When both sides are blaming the other, the consumer loses. Had I known it was my complex causing the problems, I would have been on their case as I have been on yours.
Again, I thank you for the research. What you have said about my complex is not surprising. A certain few of their employees have gotten good at deflecting the blame for their issues, instead of fixing the issues.
There's no hope of recovering the $600+ I feel I was overcharged. I'll never get my complex to admit they were wrong either, if that is truly the case. Hopefully both sides will figure it out for the future.
Thanks

I did some research and found one property that we billed in Hiram. Unfortunately, we were unable to repair the meter issues due to the property not approving the needed work authorization to make the repairs. Please understand we made repeated attempts to resolve the issue. We apologize for your experience with Minol and hope that we have the opportunity to provide you with the quality of service you deserve in the future.

During the past year, I have emailed and called Minol on numerous occasions expressing concern about my excessively high water bills. Nobody seemed to care and the standard response I received each time was "Our meters are correct. There is nothing we can do."
I find it rather amusing that someone wants to help me now by posting a rebuttal to my complaint after they have been fired by my complex. Where were you a year ago when I started calling?
