"We were going at every single avenue we could," Ortega said.
While they waited for those results, the couple asked the NBC 6 Responds team for help. "They made it a point to tell us, you can do a certified meter test but I have to tell you that 99 percent of the time it comes out that it's a perfectly normal reading," Ortega said she was told when she asked about the test. The couple also requested a certified meter test. Jury acquits Scot Peterson, ex-deputy accused of failing to protect students in Parkland school shooting "They said the most we can do is put you on installments and you can pay it in increments."
"We had no recourse with them," Ortega said. They also tried to get the water company to lower their bills, but found out they didn't qualify for any credits. The bill that followed was even higher, so the couple hired several plumbers to check out their home. "How could two people that use one bathroom get $900 worth of water running through their home in a three-month span." "We asked them what was going on," Dresner said. The first alarming bill was for almost a thousand dollars, they said. "And it just incrementally got worse and worse," Ortega said. They said the panic started a few months after moving into their home, when bills from Miami-Dade Water and Sewer started coming in. "We kind of went into a panic for about six months." They told NBC 6 Responds they were settling into their new life, after having been through a stressful few months. David Dresner and Laura Ortega recently bought their first home together and got married.
