I am a resident of Lakeway Harbor in Flint, Texas, where we are facing egregious water billing practices. Despite using merely $60 worth of water, we are charged an astonishing $200, and the worst part is, the water is not even safe to drink. Flint communities should not be overcharged for a service that does not even fulfill basic health standards. This is a critical issue affecting not just me, but thousands of families in our area.

This issue only adds to a larger water crisis that we've witnessed in places like Flint, Michigan where residents faced unaffordable water rates along with water contamination. According to an investigative report by 'The Guardian', many US households pay exorbitantly for water service, even beyond the affordability threshold set by the Environmental Protection Agency, which is 4.5% of a household's income.

Our case is not isolated but is part of a larger, systemic issue that requires immediate attention. It's crucial that Flint, TX scrutinizes the methodologies of our water companies, ensuring that they are transparent, accountable, and prioritize our well-being.

We ask for immediate policy actions to regulate and control the cost of water services, ensuring safety standards are met. It is our right as citizens not just to have access to water, but to have access to affordable and safe water. Help us demand justice and fairness in our water billing system. Let's stand together for the rights of the residents of Lakeway Harbor, for Flint, TX. Sign this petition today.
