“for owing as little as $150 or two months in bills.”
Too me that sounds like a lot of money.
That computes to about $31/mo if you are a renter or don't carry the extra $20 ins. Last winter we had continuous sewer line breaks all over town in our old system. I may have computed the ins wrong as I thought that was per month, too late to think straight.
So why would Detroit be so much more expensive I wonder? Maybe like another poster said, just charging people more to make up for other shortfalls.
I'd better see if they changed the bill frequency, been meaning to ask about fluoride anyway. I've always drunk the city water except when it tasted really bad from algae one summer.
