They are currently pumping water through existing lines at higher and higher pressures instead of building more pump substations. This means the water is coming through my lines made to withstand 80 PSI at 140 PSI. This results in my line exploding about every 2 years and a massive water bill (around 300$) as well as a 500$ repair bill on the damaged line which SAWS claims is my responsibility because it was my line that broke... I was told I could request a bill credit once per year for leaks if I could show the leak had been repaired. So I sent them all the info certified mail and they pretended to never receive it. After nearly 6 months of arguing with agents, being hung up on, being told they never received my documents etc., I resorted to threats of exposing how they acquired their monopoly in the first place and how they run it on national news. All of a sudden they found all my documents and credited my bill. Of course I can't say for sure but it is my guess that there is a lot of embezzlement going on with this company as they don't do infrastructure upgrades and have millions of customers. I am not alone on this issue. There are about 40 houses on my block and just on that block alone I see someone with a water main that has exploded about once a week, for which SAWS will charge them hundreds of dollars and fight tooth and nail not to take responsibility for. Clearly the city council, CPS and SAWS are in collusion to keep these monopolies for a reason. I can only assume through their actions that the reason they formed these monopolies are less than admirable. one more thing I want to say about this practice, even if it is not for the purpose of theft of money, even if it is simply pure incompetence, SAWS is the direct reason that millions of gallons of water are wasted every year. Even though they charge customers out the ass for water waste or watering at the wrong time etc., their policy of not upgrading infrastructure is wasting more water than all the sprinkler systems users could ever dream of.
