You know, I never really paid attention to my Water bill until I received one for $90.00! $90.00 dollar!, Ok we are a household of 2. We don't water the lawn, we rely on Mother Nature for the most part. Dare not wash the car, we may get a fine. Why is my bill now $90.00 plus a month?. This is terrible! I understand that everything is going up, but give me a break. how do I jump from $45.00 to double the amount. With those charges, I should never be dirty! LOL

Pros: Customer Service has always been good

Cons: Charges are crazy

This company does not deserve to be in business. There is no customer service and the price keeps going up.

I am very satisfied with my water company. They are very patient when it comes to paying a bill. They would work with you to settle a balance and there customer service is great. They repsond quickly to a call that is place on hold. Thank you Carolina Water Service Inc-Nc.

I have never been so disappointed in a company that I MUST pay each month. There is absolutely no customer service with the company. My water is brown and it stains the toilets, tubs, sinks, and showers in my home. Heavens forbid if you are not able to make a payment on time and need additional time because you will be talking to hear yourself. I have NEVER experienced such a service and to top it off the rates are outrageous. I wish we had a choice in the area (Charlotte 28215) in which I live but we do not and it just makes absolutely no sense to have to deal with them in any shape fashion or form!

Pros: NONE

Cons: Not enough room to write a response

I know I am in the Columbia SC vicinity, but I to HAVE no choice for my water company. I've been on their service for the past 13 years and their prices are exhorbant! They try to raise their rates it seems on a yearly basis. I have never paid no less than $50 (13 years ago). I now typically pay about $65-70 per month and that is being VERY conservative with water usage. I collect rain water just for my few plants I have. Dislike this company with a passion - wish we had a choice then CWS would be out of business!

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Price and quality

I for the life of me do not understand why this company is even apart of my bills. I agree the rates have gone up 3 times since I moved here in 2004. My water is provided by the city at one rate and my sewer is through this company at a flat rate rather I use water or not. I guess this is okay for people whom have pools and water their lawns daily, neither of which I am. When sewer backed into my yard they didn't want to come out until I paid the people's bill that were thrown out before I brought this home. Even the higher ups are rude and acted as if they knew more about me than I do. Good luck to anyone that has to deal with these people.

Pros: I know of known

Cons: All listed in my comments

in 7 years, they have raised the rates three times, and drinking the water is unadvisable. you can SEE particles in the water. gross. my water bill was 60.00 in 2001, and now its 85.00, and still i have to buy drinking water. you also get cut off every time you call, unless you say that you are a vendor.

Pros: service only goes out once a month or so

Cons: its the only provider

The water service provided by this sorry excuse for a H2O supplier is a joke. Whenever the power goes off in our neighborhood their pumps stop working so the 300+ people are without water! I guess these savvy business folks have never heard of the words backup generator - it's a "new" technology, go check out Einstein! Let's see, the water pressure in our complex is so bad that you cannot run two water sources at the same time. For example, if I try to water my lawn and make the mistake of turning on the kitchen faucet or do something stupid like flushing a toilet - the pressure drops so low that the sprinkler doesn't have enough pressure to rotate on it's own. The problem now is that even though we have been annexed by the city they won't sell off their system so Charlotte can update it and give us decent water! Bad, bad company to do business with. Shame on everyone associated with them!

Pros: The water isn't radioactive (as far as I know)

Cons: To many to list - low pressure, no water when the power is out.
