A faulty billing system rollout caused massive errors, over $16 million in fixes, and $130 million in proposed compensation.
A flawed rollout of Greater Western Water’s new CustomerPlace billing system in May 2024 caused widespread errors, including over 18,000 double bills, missed concessions, incorrect apartment billing, and 320 cases of personal data sent to wrong recipients.
The system, built from outdated legacy platforms, suffered from skipped testing, abandoned data rules, and rushed implementation.
Over $16 million has been spent on fixes, with $130 million proposed for customer compensation.
Despite correcting 320,000 records, the full scope of errors remains unknown.
The project, originally budgeted at $103.7 million, involved multiple contractors and led to stalled property transactions.
CEO Craig Dixon acknowledged systemic failures and confirmed customers won’t pay for fixes, while legal action may be pursued.
