Inkster water bills spike amid city meter errors, residents frustrated

Residents in Inkster are facing skyrocketing water bills after the city installed new water meters during sewage pipe work last summer, leading to confusion and frustration among the community. Eric and Geneva Goldston, long-time residents, have seen their bills increase from $77 to over $1,600, despite unchanged water usage. The city attributes the issue to data migration errors and has suspended late fees while advising residents against paying inaccurate bills.
