When you get your monthly utility bill, what do you check first? If you're like most of us, you look at the amount billed for electricity and/or natural gas. You may then glance at your water usage, but you probably stop there. Next month, take a good look at your wastewater bill. Did you know you paid that much?
Now the City of Florence is planning an upgrade to the system. At the end of March, the ADEM asked the state's approximately 1,100 water systems to submit requests for upgrade funding. Federal funding is to assist with these projects, but we have to ask just how far it will go if all one thousand plus systems request an upgrade.
Florence apparently had its plans ready and will be offering more information on this in days to come. We suggest those who are already concerned about their monthly bill to contact their district representative to learn how this will impact their future payments.
Wastewater: Not a Pleasant Topic, Is It?
