Thank you taking to time to ensure that my comment be added as a consumer.
I am concerned that the request in raising our water costs is ridiculous. I have been with Falls Water for
over 24 years and with all the changes that they have done I can no longer even water my lawn! If you
drive through my neighborhood you will see pretty much the same thing. We used to pay a fixed rate
during the winter months which made it feasible to water during the summer months. This is no longer
the case. I set up auto pay for $50.00 a month and since the costs have gone up so much I haven’t even
been able to do any kind of garden. Why can’t something be done like the city does? A fixed reasonable
rate that every customer can pay? I am disabled and live on very limited income. With COVID-19 I am
having to quit my job due to health issues. This is just unfair to ask customers to pay more! There is no
management on our equipment and I certainly don’t see anyone coming to read any meter so how can
you do this to your customers? Please take into consideration the people who just can’t afford more and
more and receive less and less! It just ridiculous!
