Annual water hike

This morning we momentarily lost water pressure. (While I was in the shower, too just for extra aggravation.) As it turned out it was just a building maintenance issue and the pressure came back within a few minutes. But, as we've learned time and again, one can never be too careful around here so I spent those few minutes searching around for the boil order. None came.

I did notice today that S&WB is getting set to ask for a rate hike.

The 10 percent increase has been in the works for a while, and many people aren't too happy about it. The board recommended a series of 10 percent increases each year until 2020, increasing the average monthly household bill by 140 percent. The rates would be doubled in order to fix the aging water system.

A series of 10 percent increases each year. I wonder if they're planning an annual boil order just before asking for each of them as well.
