Water & Sewer Cost Recovery Audits

Identify Billing Errors. Recover Overcharges. Reduce Ongoing Utility Costs.

Spend Cubes provides water and sewer billing audits to help organizations and municipalities identify billing errors, incorrect rates, misapplied fees, and missed exemptions that lead to persistent overcharges.

Water and sewer bills are often assumed to be accurate. In reality, they frequently contain classification errors, meter issues, incorrect assumptions, and outdated rate applications—especially for large or complex users.
