Leaky Toilet Means $15K Water Bill For Natick Homeowner
William Kourtis said he "almost had a heart attack" when he saw the bill.
NATICK, MA — A Natick homeowner was shocked when he opened his most recent water bill that totaled more than $15,000. “I opened up my water bill on Monday morning at six in the morning and I almost had a heart attack,” said William Kourtis.
He could not believe his eyes. His last water and sewer bill statement he received in the mail read $15,018.73. “I was shocked,” he said.
Kourtis said the three-story mixed-use property he owns on West Central Street in Natick was being rented out on the second floor, but the top floor bathroom was not being used. An unexpected leak in the toilet went unnoticed for weeks into the sewer system racking up a monstrous bill.
