Legal Question in Business Law in Florida

Utility Bill

For the past 12 years I have been paying the water bill to my place of residence, however last month a notice was put on the back of the bill stating that the city would estimate the bill every other month because they don't have the money to pay a meter reader to check the actual usage every month - is this legal - what rights do ciitzens have to an actual bill??

This is probably legal. If you do not like this system, you should call the utility and find out what alternatives might exist.
