- A man in North Carolina got a water bill for $188
- The fee, however, was an extra $99.9-million
- His local water provider confirmed they made a mistake and he didn't owe that astronomical fee
Opening bills is never fun, but for Kieran Healy, he at least got a good laugh thanks to the Orange Water and Sewer Authority. Healy's bill was $188 but they added on a fee for $99.9-million.
The Pennsylvania man tweeted a picture of his bill to the water and sewer company asking if he could pay in installments. Healy later took to Twitter to update his followers: in case their was any concern, the OWASA confirmed he did not owe them over $100-million.
