    Accused of harassment by utility office
    After receiving a 900. Waterbill I made 4 calls to the city office yesterday while trying to resolve issue, the city employee claimed this was harassment and kicked me out of the city utility office today. Would that be considered harassment

    What did you do? A lot of government employees don't have to put up with yelling and screaming like employees at private companies (cell companies) have to.

    If you swore, threatened harm or retaliation, it could be more than simple harassment, it could be assault. We really need to hear more about the 4 exchanges to give an opinion.

    Need to know the circumstances of the exchange as well. Meanwhile, have you called a plumber to make sure you don't have a break between your main and house? That is usually how those large bills happen and in our city if you talk REAL NICE and take the plumber's invoice, they will work with you.
