I am a parent and grandparent with four dependents living in my household. Recent weeks have given rise to a problematic situation - soaring water bills without the receipt of an actual invoice. This abrupt and unwarranted financial burden impacts my family seriously. The local water service company's lack of transparency is alarming and demands immediate rectification. As per the American Water Works Association, a family of five typically uses 12,000 gallons of water per month at most. Given this, the bills that families like ours receive should reflect this average usage. It's appropriate to ask for transparency, fairness, and consistency in pricing and billing. We, the bill-paying customers, reserve the right to receive regular and detailed invoices, ensuring we can monitor our consumption and understand the charges being made. We are calling on the local utilities commission and legislative representatives to take prompt and decisive action. Please, sign this petition to require our local water supplier to practice transparency in billing, so families like mine aren't blindsided by high bills without a clear explanation.
