Kelly Garrett - "Let 'Em Know"

So tell me how what has been the increase, like how much percentage wise?

And I had to really think this out before I wrote what I wrote because I voted for it.

Right.

But I think that it wasn't even explained in a way that I even could realize what was about to happen.

So my water bill personally was always between 70, $80.

Right.

And this is a month or quarterly or a month.

Okay.

And I might use, I think it's two units that I was using, might be, I can't remember.

But it's still just one person that's using this.

Still high.

We

had, we talked about it in meetings.

We had a state of the city address, talked about it, was in the e-newsletters that we're going to have an increase.

I looked at what was in the e-newsletter and even for me personally, As someone stepping back, not being a part of the government, I looked at it and I said, and I don't think I realized how it was going to affect the bottom line of the bills.

So long story short, $70, $80 is what I'm paying per month.

I get my bill as $120.

My usage hasn't changed.

But coming out the gates now, your average bill will no longer be under, not theirs, but mine will no longer be under $80.

So regardless of me turning on a faucet or anything, my bill is always going to be $80 without using any water.

That's just the flat rate.

The flat rate of the sewer, the delivery of the water, basically.

So this came, Gliwa gave us the charges, and the charges are passed on to the residents.

But I really, I think that the communication, and maybe I'm just somebody, I'm a matter-of-fact person, explain it to me like I am a fifth grader of what just happened.

You know, because even I went into our city hall and was screaming.
