Houston homeowner gets $1 million collection letter for water repairs that the city contracted a company to fix.
A construction company confirms it's sending out notices because the City of Houston has not paid for work they did last year to repair water lines.KHOU 11 has learned this woman isn't alone. Other people are getting this letter too. The confusing part is it's an invoice to the City of Houston, but it is homeowners who are getting it in the mail.She couldn't believe what she got in the mail.
When KHOU 11 asked why it was now sending the bills to residents, an attorney for the construction company said,"The letters were sent as notice that St. Harlem was not paid, and neither St. Harlem nor AmeriFactors expects any payment from the property owners." He issued the following statement: The City needed fast, effective repairs or Houstonians would lose access to drinking water. Houston needed quick help. St. Harlem Construction answered.
"The City promised to pay St. Harlem for the services provided. The City received the services, but refuses to pay. If the City will not pay these voluntarily, St. Harlem will have no choice but to force it do so in Court."
