Some residents in Calvert County have reportedly become the victim of an audit authorized in 2016 that led to exorbitant water bills for some homeowners who were hit with four- or five-figure fees.

According to the report, residents were being charged connection fees based on water usage, but the audit happened during the COVID-19 pandemic while families were working and operating from home.

Calvert County commissioners will reportedly consider remedies at their scheduled meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 10.
