Business ProfileforBaldwin County Sewer Service, LLC

Having a few years of dealing with this company, to rate this company as poor would be an understatement.Upon first contact, I had the good fortune of not only having the pleasure of paying for an overpriced sewer service, but I was informed for this service I had the privilege of paying a $100 non-refundable 'deposit.'The next notable event was letting the neighborhood generator for the pump run out of fuel several days after a hurricane had damaged the neighborhood.Following up this event was a leaking pipe which created a huge sink hole in the middle of the road. This hole opening was several feet in diameter. More cockroaches than could be counted made residence in the void suggesting a long time leak. The sink hole was was filled with some material (I didn't witness this) and capped with asphalt. The asphalt and other fill materials had settled within a few days leaving at least a 6" depression in the road. Obviously, the fill materials weren't compacted as they should be when doing civil work. This depression still exists as this is being written.Finally, as an appreciation, this company sends notification that the monthly bill will further increase and as a bonus a 3% fee will be charged if you elect to pay your bill online. As a note, I researched the average sewer bill across the state. The sewer bill alone charged by this company is only a few dollars off of any published combined water and sewer bills in the state.Unfortunately, there are no alternatives so this company has decided they can make it up as they go along. Hopefully, this information will be useful to unsuspecting victims of this company's ridiculousness.
