Got the following press release from a listserv. Water to increase $4.24 a month? Is this a bad sign of the times? I’ve always thought water was extremely inexpensive anyway. Of course, I don’t bathe that often so what do I know…
The District of Columbia Water and Sewer Authority (DC WASA) is
hosting community meetings to discuss a proposed adjustment to water
and sewer rates. The Board is considering a rate increase of 8.5
percent for water and sewer services. If approved, the new rate
becomes effective October 2008 and would raise the average monthly
bill by approximately $4.24 (based on an average monthly usage of
8.33 Ccf or 6,231 gallons of water).
