By workaround I mean calling the water company to beg them to please for the love of god give me a few extra days on their bills (I'm paying for very expensive repairs, not for the water itself) so that I don't have to keep paying them out of the previous month's income, which is obviously going to be lower than the actual corresponding month's. So I'll subtract the payment I owe them from a sum of $300 or so and not out of $105 like I've been doing
