Water!!!

[youpissmeoff]

So they increased our water rates 5x and sent out pro forma water bills if we used the same level as last year (keeping in mind we were restricted to use water outside 2 days a week last year).

My new water bill projection ...... $2,900/ month. WTF OMG FML

Shit man we can only water once a week for two hours, no sprinklers all hand watered! Shit sucks!

I can't believe you were paying $600/month before.

I'm in the Great Lakes Basin. I have my own well but in the village, water bill is $30/month for unlimited use.

sucks! no way to treat it?

I wouldn't know...Ive never heard of anyone around here having a problem with a well beyond hard/soft water or an iron or radon sitch
all of which are treatable

yes fuck you can treat it. Takes a RO system that uses 5 gallons to every gallon it makes. $30k for the system and you have to have an area to house it. Too much trouble.

hmm...seems like a bad idea with a little over a year in return on value ...
