PORT ORANGE, Fla. – Thousands of residents in Volusia County won't get their water bills this month because Port Orange officials are delaying the October bills to check their accuracy.
The delay comes as a response to a slew of recent utility problems in which a rate change was entered incorrectly into the computer, causing the city nearly a million dollars.
