I just received my water bill for Oct. 21-Nov 20, and it was $95.39. There is no way that I used that much water. It certainly isn’t like I’ve been watering my lawn.

I’ve noticed the bills keep going up and up and up. Was there an increase slipped in there that the people aren’t aware of or are you charging us folks up here on the hill in the newly annexed area more money?

I cannot afford such a high water bill. My husband and I are both retired, he’s gravely ill and we have tremendous medical bills. I can’t see where any of my money is going, not the cost of the water nor the taxes that we pay.

It’s time you and your newly elected council put your heads together, if that’s possible and figure out a way to give us poor people a break. I know you’ve tried to explain this problem away to me in the past, but your explanation just doesn’t compute, Mr. Mayor.
