Clearly a look at a water bill shows that what goes out represents a major portion of our periodic water bills. A second water meter for watering and outside use can alleviate some of the cost for some ratepayers. In addition to replacing our aging water and sewer infrastructure, I support a tiered rate structure. Taking all of this into account, the true rate relief our citizens seek will not be realized until the bonds associated with the construction of the Deer Island sewage treatment plant are paid down.
