Relief Received After TV Station Intervenes
Michael Mudurian served in the Air Force and then settled into his Point Loma home with an ocean view 50 years ago.
For decades, the lifelong bachelor said he had a pretty high water bill because he loved to water his garden and nourish the lush, green grass in his front yard. However, the grass became dead and brown because Mudurian couldn't afford his water bill; it was a stunning $28,500 in August after the city's Public Utilities Department had held his bill for over a year.
Mudurian said he tried explaining that it was incorrect to the city's Public Utilities Department, which has had a history of issuing incorrect bills to its 282,000-plus customers.
