Why is your water bill so high?

If you live in Western Wayne County or Oakland County, you have probably noticed that your water bills are higher than they used to be.

The primary reason is that the Detroit Water and Sewer Department has been targeting you. You are, in fact, paying more than your fair share. The newly formed Great Lakes Water Authority will be unable to fully address, if at all, this rate disparity.

You can view a video presentation on this subject including “How you can help fix this problem” at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=caLFp9HH2i0 . You can also find two presentations on this subject by searching Youtube for “water rate fairness.” (version “808” is the “cliff notes” version and version “802” will provide more background information).

State Rep. Kurt Heise and State Sen. Pat Colbeck have begun to address this subject but it will be controversial and will need your support. Take a few minutes to educate yourself on this important subject.
