Price of Water to Rise Too?

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).

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.

You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.

It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
