Williams discovered that residents were not only experiencing drastically higher water bills but also water main breaks, noises in their pipes, and very high or very low water pressure.

After noticing unusually high bills not long after the city installed new water meters in her neighborhood, Tabitha Williams reached out to other neighborhoods with new meters.
The results were similar.
Williams’ neighborhood, Wedgwood East, arranged for a virtual meeting with the Fort Worth Water Department. During the meeting, department leaders explained that the old meters weren’t registering accurate usage and the new ones are.
