WINNIPEG A Winnipeg woman received an unpleasant surprise when she opened her latest water bill: it was 20 times higher than her last one. Kim Heinrichs has lived in her St. Norbert home for nearly two years. She rents it with her son and is responsible for the water bill. Most of the time when we started here it was like $96, just over $100 because it s just me and him, said Heinrichs. Since moving in, her lowest water bill was about $82 while the highest was $323. The latest bill Heinrichs received on Jan. 29 showed she owed $2,299.13.
