When a Houston woman's water bill more than doubled, she had to quit taking one of her medications, so she Turned to Ted.

HOUSTON, Texas -- Lillian Lang has lived in her south Houston home since 1977 and said she's the one who has paid the water bill every month for the last several decades.Lang said she didn't realize there were any issues with her bills until January when she received a letter from the City of Houston letting her know they underbilled her."I didn't know until they sent me the huge bill, $219," Lang told ABC13's Ted Oberg."I told them I'm on a fixed income.

"I did without medication that I normally have to pay for so that I could make the extra payments to the water company because I didn't want to lose my water," Lang said."As a matter of fact, I fell because I was so disoriented. The medication is for Parkinson's and it keeps me functional and when I don't take it, I have a lot of difficulty."

"I reached out to everybody in hopes somebody would help," Lang said."You were the only people that responded."
