Jackson Jambalaya

I told y'all that the celebrations would soon be water under the bridge. Bada bing.

I'm sure we'll be able to tell the difference, now that they're back at "work."

City Services should bill the property owner-landlord, not the tenant directly. Let the landlord property owner collect from the tenant.

Engage an aggressive collection agency for x% to collect past due balances, then attach a lien to the property if necessary.

City should not burden honest bill payers with overpaying to compensate for deadbeat service users just to warm Lil Choke's marxist bollocks.

Krusatyr, no need to come up with new ways here. You bill them for the water they use. If they don’t pay, you disconnect the water. If they decide they want their water back, they pay the bill, late fees, and a reconnection fee. If you don’t disconnect water, people don’t pay. If you disconnect the water, they do pay. Running a water company is unbelievably simple if you are willing to simply honor the lessons of the past.

I have two properties in Jackson. Both have large balances. Both have large balances that are not accurate. Both have large balances that are not accurate because both were billed using the Estimated Usage and I know one of the, maybe both still show "estimated usage" on the most recent bill.

Anyway, so they both had "estimated usage" for so long, well, both also had an estimated usage that also accrued an excess usage charge. Guess what, the following year, that same estimated usage was used with the same excess usage charge. I have not been checking it each time as I grew tired, but after complaining of this, my estimated usage was lower than actual usage for several months.

So, Jackson will not collect fraudulent billing from this property owner.

Mayor little lord Fauntleroy cucks!

Why even pay your water bill if you live in Jackson? These clown would never be able to successfully take you to court and win.

Back in April, the City of Jackson followed State Law & shut down
for the Confederate Memorial Day Holiday.

The irony of that is hilarious.

I think the handwritten notice said something like "closed for a State Holiday".

If y'all don't pay your water bills Lord Chowke will veto you.

Hello 4:22
We have an incompetent marxist mayor in Jackson who intentionally permits indigents to not pay, thus burdening those that do with extra cost.

Mostly they are tenant deadbeats who have an entitlement attitude which is buttressed by the mayor and probably also by some Judges.

Jackson is millions in arrears, so it is stupid to use the courts to fight deadbeat tenants. It is smarter and more expedient
to leverage the property owner at this juncture, with collecting agency and property lien backup. Of course water can also be cut off, as you suggested, but that's exactly where our mayor will jump in and forbid it.

So why not force the landlord to be responsible for the bill, he will then be more careful about selecting financially qualified tenants.

Free the water!!

I sold my business in jack town last September and have yet to receive my water deposit back. I owed it for 21 years and paid on time ever month. So when I call to ask they tell me it’s a process to get it back. What a joke

LOL @ 4:22. These folks will straight pipe a new water supply before the cutoff guy leaves the driveway. Bypass the meter entirely. Maybe that cutoff shit works where he lives, it don't work in Jxn.

@8:31 PM The check's in the mail, right? The deposit trust fund may be a little light on the balance, right? Shad? Shad?

Krusatyr, that is a valid point, but the Public Service commission doesn't allow that. If a tenant/renter wants water, and is willing to sign the user agreement, and pay all applicable fees and deposits, then you have to provide the water. You can't say "I will only provide it to the landlord".

Oh thank God. Now they can get back to pocketing those cash payments !

The most coveted positions in that office are the cashier's jobs. Wink, wink.
