Is HRSD Service Charge fraud?

• Water Usage Fees: Customers are charged based on their actual water usage, which is measured in gallons. Higher consumption can lead to larger bills.
• Monthly Service Charges: A standard monthly fee for connection to the sanitation district is billed regardless of water usage.
• Additional Service Fees: Fees for services like labor, late payments, or returned payment checks can appear on bills.
• Subscription Services: Some users have reported charges related to subscription-based services for additional waste management or recycling services.
• Infrastructure Improvements: Charges can include assessments for infrastructure improvements or maintenance fees that are mandated by local regulations.
• Account Adjustments: Users have occasionally experienced unexpected charges due to account adjustments from prior billing errors or estimated usage corrections.
• Seasonal Changes: Summer months can increase water use for outdoor activities, resulting in higher bills that customers might not anticipate.
• Additional Charges for Unpermitted Usage: Unexpected fees may arise if customers use water in ways not included in their standard service agreement.

If you see this charge and aren’t expecting it, you have various options.

First, try to contact the hrsd.com via one of the support methods we listed below and inquire about the charge. See if they will refund it and cancel any associated subscriptions you might have.

If the hrsd.com refused to issue a refund or you cannot get in touch with the company, call your bank or financial institution and open a credit card dispute. Record screenshot evidence from your prior conversations with hrsd.com, and use that to open your credit card dispute. Tell your bank or credit card issuer that you do not recognize the charge and do not recall signing up for the service.

If this sounds like too much of a hassle, you can have Chargeback do it for you.
