Billings' water billing system audit revealed software issues caused delays and errors for 15,000 customers.

An audit of Billings' water billing system showed that while meters were accurate and the new system now operates at 98.4% accuracy, initial software issues caused billing delays and errors for about 15,000 of the city's 40,000 customers. The city manually corrected these bills, acknowledged communication failures, and plans to work with customers on payment plans. No overbilling due to meter inaccuracies was found, but the audit highlighted significant project management errors during the transition.
