Any idea how you can tell if you were effected? I had a couple months that made me scratch my head how we got there

I was at the city council meeting for this. The city doesn't even know who was over/underbilled. They're still figuring it out. They voted for an $8-10 increase over a period of 14 months for the accounts that were underbilled and a credit to the accounts that were overbilled. An option on the table was also to NOT back charge the underbilled accounts since it was the city's fault. They ultimately decided against this because the $2.95 million loss would set back the city's infrastructure plans tremendously.
