Woodinville Water District has found a different way to increase profits while selling the same water at an increased price. We usually use 12 CCF (100 cubic feet) or less of water during a normal 57-60 day metered billing cycle at a cost of $2.95 per CCF. Our last bill was much higher because they read the meter on a 70 day cycle, which, of course, put our consumption far over 12 CCF, and the excess was billed at $4.30 per CCF. The over billing cannot be made up by using less water the next cycle, as we discovered last July when we were grossly over charged by misreading our meter. Keep a sharp eye on these folks, Kirklanders.
