Allentown Water Users Will Be Getting Soaked

WFMZ-TV
Judge: Lehigh Co. Authority can raise water bills for Allentown residents
"The city filed the lawsuit after the authority voted in May to increase rates by $13 dollars a month."

Ok so $13 a month doesn't sound like much. Well it is when you consider it's $156 more per year. My water bills over the last 4 years totaled under $400. Doing the math this increase represents nearly 40%. In other terms this means shortly I will be paying for more then 16 months of water but only getting 12 months worth next year. This comes on top of the $100 stormwater fee we were assessed.

Yeah I'd say we're getting a pretty good soaking considering all this liquid sunshine raining down on Earth comes from the heavens free of charge. At least it was until revenuers got ahold of it.



What's next.. 'Sun Fees"?

Maybe I ahould shut up before I give them anymore ideas.
