SUMTER COUNTY, Fla. — A Sumter County woman was left stunned when she received a $1.2 million water bill in the mail.
Sandra Hardy's previous bill was only $37.
Hardy, who lives with her 90-year-old mother and handles the water bill, said the bill’s exact total was $1,213,586.78. The late fee was listed as $121,000.
The city told her it was likely a human error and that someone typed too many numbers. Hardy said the city apologized and her bill is now $67.27.
