Joe,

That is getting bad but ours is worse. I just got back from the lake and the intake towers tops are sticking about 20/30 foot above the water level. The old tail tower is sticking out by about 40 feet it looks. Our water rates have gone up for every amount and then they add a big fine for anything above 1,000 cubic feet. I just received the new rate sheet and they raised the rates for everything by 2.5% but won't say how they figure the fines. The sewer even went up to $58.40 for crying out loud. And they raised the meter reading fees by $3 even though they haven't physically read them for over a year. It is all sent in to the computer which figures the bill and I can't see any reason to keep paying a huge amount for that reading fee, and especially raising it all the time.

They say the West will keep getting hotter and dryer and the East will get colder and wetther.
