Austin leaders consider new resident utility fee (communityimpact.com)

The fees on my water bill are already over $100 per month. Maybe if we weren’t paying to build multimillion dollar pylons for I-35’s non existent parkland (that we also can’t afford to build or maintain) we wouldn’t have to come up with more new fees.

I challenge you to find anywhere in the state of Texas with sewers (rather than septic tanks) that doesn't charge you for wastewater on your water bill. I also challenge you to find anywhere with garbage collection service where that isn't a separate charge.

I get you're someone whose going to criticize our city government no matter what, but what in the ever-loving fuck are you talking about that these are fees tacked on to your water bill rather than charges for services that are standard across municipalities. This is your utility bill, not your drinking water delivery bill
