The sewer tax rate for other property owners will continue to be 159 percent of water charges.

Thus, landlords will likely benefit from any increase in water charges.

Even during drought and financial crisis, more than 90% of users paid water charges.

In some instances I know of, water charges have risen from $1,500 to $2,000 to $7,000 and $8,000 a building.

Ten years ago the city's sewer rate was a third of its water charge.

This year the sewer rate is 59 percent above the water charge.

It looks like I will be paying this water charge forever.

The water charges will be up to four times higher than the existing figure of £57.

They currently pay some of the highest water charges in the country.

The volumetric water charges are paid at the end of each season.
