My city privatized our water and is celebrating “being out of debt” meanwhile taxes are still rising and my water bill was $350 last month. My sewage another $120 through the same company. Not to mention I had to put $9k into “updating” my swear line to be compatible with the new company. And for every month I hadn’t updated I had to pay a $95 fee. I literally paid almost $600 a month a one point for fucking water. Homelessness is going up and people are ditching houses around here cause they can’t afford to live in a shithole but hey the city’s out of debt I guess?

Oh and I missed my payment my 2 days and got shut off last week so I’m expecting a high bill again in “restart” fees even though they didn’t have to send anyone out here for it.

Fuck privatized water
