SAWS (San Antontio Water System) is not reading the utility meters for several months and are estimating usage. These estimates are not indicated on the bill - it appears as an actual reading and if you call in you are told your meter was read. When they do an actual reading a "true up" occurs but because there is a tiered rate structure you are thrown into "penalty pricing" and are charged more for the water that was used. This is a city wide problem that has been going on for well over a year.
