The Chicago City Council Finance Committee held a hearing Tuesday with the heads of the Water Management and Finance departments.

-- We are pleased to report that the city took action Tuesday on an issue the CBS 2 Investigators have brought to the forefront – bogus water bills.

It is a topic near and dear to CBS 2 Streaming Anchor Brad Edwards – whose reporting on this topic dates back to 2019. Edwards' first Getting Hosed report involved a couple overcharged by tens of thousands of dollars. Finally, Ald. Gilbert Villegas heard our reports – and demanded those in charge come to City Hall to explain.Those people include Vietnam veteran Rodney Andrews. Mr. Andrews became a symbol of bureaucratic wrong – unable to live in his home because of a bungled water bill – and the water wasn't even on.That was until we got involved – and brough attention to his plight.
