Demand Corry City to Transfer Water Authority Control to a Third Party


Demand Corry City to Transfer Water Authority Control to a Third Party
The Issue
The residents of Corry, Pennsylvania are facing an unjust situation. Our water authority, owned by the city, is billing us at significantly higher rates than surrounding communities. This is not just an issue of fairness; it's a matter of survival for many who are already struggling to make ends meet.
Unlike other utilities regulated by the Public Utility Commission (PUC), our water authority operates independently with no external oversight. This lack of regulation has resulted in exorbitant bills and no provisions for those who have fallen behind on payments. The only option given is payment in full or face having this essential life-sustaining service shut off.
We believe that it's time for change. We demand that the City of Corry relinquish its control over decision making regarding water and billing services and transfer this authority to a third party under the regulation of PUC.
This change will ensure fair pricing, provide support for those struggling financially, and prevent any future exploitation from occurring within our community's essential services.
