“Dear PoPville,
As cooler weather approaches, I was wondering if people knew of some safe and legal ways to heat a front porch. Hanging out with my pod of friends outside has really helped maintain my sanity during quarantine, and I’m hoping to be able to do that as long as possible.”

“Dear PoPville,
During my 10+ years living in DC, I have handled my monthly water and sewer usage a number of different ways: no charge (apartment pays it); directly billed with DC Water; and via a formula, referred to as RUBS where essentially the building receives a bill and divvys it out amongst residents via a formula. No matter how I’ve been billed, the cost was so nominal that I never cared to investigate how or why I was being charged the way that I was – on average, anywhere between $15-25 per person for both sewer and water.
All that has changed. (more…)
