Ricki's water consumption had always been
plentiful. She changed her clothes several times a day and bathed frequently as
well. This was tolerable until about a year ago, when the water company added a
higher tariff for "copious" water usage. And due to Ricki's frequent
bathes, and the resulting high number of loads of laundry, we fit the criteria.
Our water bill sky rocketed. I wrote the company a letter, explaining why it
was not fair that we pay the higher tariff.
This week, I received a letter from the
water company. They have decided to give parents of children with special needs
a discount. We just need to inform them if she is no longer living at this
address.
Unfortunately, You're a bit late, I informed
them……

ouch, that hurts
Can they give you a retroactive one for her last year?
Wow - what a legacy. If Ricki's water needs, explained in your letter, resulted in a change for parent's of special needs children - well done. Getting the letter would "pinch" your heart, but knowing that you helped so many others may help ease the pain.
Batya, maybe 2 monthes
Annon_ I doubt that my letter made any change- organizations were working on it; I was just adding my 2 cents.....
Actually I think the law changed in September-but still too late for you. I only know as I as was helping a friend get Child Disability and the booklet put out by ALUT Benefits 2012 mentioned it.
Oh my word! This gave me a lump in my throat. So sad...
