I just received my new Water bill, it was ridiculous as usual. I was looking at the sewer charges and over the last two years they have increased $1.25 per 100 c.u. There has been an increase per 100 c.u. on every bill. Since I use about 700 c.u.’s a month this increase has cost me about $85 a bill, but with no end in sight. I was wondering if anyone knew who was setting these rates.
