COLUMBIA — Hikes in Columbia residents' water bills could be due to new technology that's meant to better track usage, city officials said Monday. 
Rosewood resident Scott Sylvester said he's miffed by his latest water bill of $97, which is double last month's charge. Some of Sylvester's neighbors also reported increases to their bills in a popular neighborhood Facebook group, ranging from larger hikes like Sylvester's to several dollars.
