For 1 person the water price is $62 a month. Ask yourself what could a single human being be doing for $62. One could buy a lot of things for $62. Not in this town. That is the price for basic sanitation. One could go anywhere else in the state and pay less than $20 a month for water. Not here. They send out papers saying what is in the water and basically it is full of chlorine and trihalomethanes. Would be a great case for a big shot lawyer if some of the long term residents wanted to sue for organ failure and cancer. If asked why the water prices keep going up they say well they had to repair some drainage somewhere. They have failed to maintain the water and sewage systems over the years and now demand the residents pay to fix the problems. The prices will continue to rise and if you move here expect to pay over $100 a month by the year 2025 with single occupancy. read more
