If you want to hear a funny story about how ridiculous and rabid the guys at
the Water Dept are, get this:

I used to live just outside city limits, where the city wouldnt collect
garbage, and, had my own septic.

As a result, my bi-monthly water bill was $20.00! That's pretty cheap
right?? (See I didnt have that expensive city sewer) Anyway, I got a bill
for $20, so I figure, well, I'm not going to waste a whole check and a stamp
for $20.  When I get my next bill, I'll send in $40.  I mean, whats $20
right?

So...the city comes out and they shut off my water! Well, I have a wrench
like everyone else, so I promptly turned it back on.

And a few days later they shut it off -- again! Well, I still had my wrench
handy so I turned it back on.  Of course, after turning it on, I couldn't
help but notice that water was streaming onto the ground, and that they had
removed my meter!!!

Yes they actually took the meter out of the ground for a $20 water bill!! Is
that stupid? My advice -- plant a nice hedge over your meter -- then they
can't get to it :)
