There is nothing flawed in a rate table that takes into account cost of service. LCEC does the same.
And if someone thinks that Hotels on the Island should pay the same rate as a condo or homeowner, that is absurd. There is a curve that illustrates cost versus use and it confirms the City's rates.
But it is always good to hear from those few that always chime in with the same opinions, as do I.

I will suggest that homeowner's should pay less than hotels and an equal rate to condo owner's.

Hotels are here using our facilities to make a profit on their investments. Their expense for water is therefore tax deductable giving them an even lower actual cost. The homeowner or condo owner on the other hand has to cough up the full amount for the water he is paying without any benefit of a tax deduction.

For this matter alone the hotels should pay a higher rate and should not be subsidized by the homeowners, many of which are on fixed incomes.

Anything that takes away more from the homeowner is therefore flawed and completely unfair.
