Pay Your Water Bill With Toilet Paper?

Imagine receiving a water bill that says you owe $2,509.66. Instead of paying the bill with a regular bank check, you decided to pay the bill with a check written on an elegant “floral print, two-ply toilet paper”.

That’s what Ron Borgna of Binghamton, New York did to show his discontent. His dispute over his water bill began in September 2006 when he received a $422.90 bill in which he claimed was over billed. After years of neglect, the late fees and penalties began to grow and grow to what is now $2,509.66.

To show his strong discontent, he decided to write a check on an elegant toilet paper.

Of course, Binghamton city officials refused to accept a check written on toilet paper.

He is now appealing the judgment against him in small claims court saying that he paid his water bill but the city officials at Binghamton refused to accept it.
