Update - Thompson v.NYC Water Board

On Sunday, June 7,2009, NYC Comptroller, Bill Thompson, issued a statement calling the possible 12 to 14% water rate hike "outrageous." Either way, there's going to be a hike. It is a matter of how much. The average amount paid by NYC homeowners is around $600 annually already. The Comptroller said this hike will increase that amount at least double. This is coming at a time when everyone is being taken 15 different directions more then before with the economic crisis looking over everyone. Although the Comptroller has issued a statement of opinion, we are waiting to see what actions/plans he has. Though, he has given suggestions to the Board already. We'll find out with our next bill.
