I know people in WB pay high water bills but here in Burlington it is outright theft by local government.  I have a friend that lives alone and his new quarterly water bill totaled out at $280 and change.  This is one person living in a large house who would use at most no more water than a one bathroom home regardless of how many bathrooms or rooms may be in the house.  Burlington city management hasn’t yet figured out it’s people that use water and not rooms or freestanding toilets.

Burlington uses the water, sewer, trash bill to steal from the people in order to over pay city employees and provide them with free benefits, prop-up incapable city management and fund their dreams of grandeur that are never successful.

To stop the tax on utilities people had better vote no on the loosely termed Franchise Fee, actually a tax on already excessively high utility rates in Iowa, and don’t forget they can then raise it to 5% down the road and we all know that will happen in this poorly run city of Burlington.
