Water Bills, Assessments, Carol Beach

Click here and here for links to Carol Beach article and Village website news, respectively. I'm sure it will generate lots of comments.

My assessment dropped 2.2%. How about the rest of you? Mr. Vita was kind enough to send me assessments for our entire subdivision.

Someone has commented about high sewer and water bills. What I know is that we have to pay for our water and sewer services from City of Kenosha in part because of Great Lakes Water agreement. Kenosha charges us more for water than anyone else in the area (how much is due to PP, I don't know). We also pay sewer fees that appear to subsidize Kenosha residents. Not fair but not sure what can be done about it either. Perhaps we can get water from Illinois if they get Lake access at a cheaper rate??? Highly doubtful, but I'm thankful we have an abundant clean source of water.

We're just surprised that our water bill is easily triple any where else we've lived. Places not very close to Lake Michigan. We find it ironic.

Why can't we stick our own pipe in the Lake and lower our costs?

I'm telling you we are sitting next to liquid gold in Lake Michigan, we could build a city bigger than Dubai if Pollocough & crew can only open their minds to this...
