Water bill on the rise

Posted

To whom it may concern in the water office:

My water bill has never been this high in the winter. For months it’s been averaging $72.15 even in May. I live alone, haven’t had to water the yard, done very little laundry and we’ve had more than our share of rain, so it’s very hard to see how it can be $83.09. Workers for water company had been releasing water because we could see it running down the street. No wonder people living on Social Security can’t make ends meet with companies taking advantage of them.
