I am a firm believer information such as what I am about to type should never be withheld from the general public especially when it involves taxpayer money.
How many are familiar with what a homeowner has to pay for water consumption and sewage treatment compared to other municipalities?
As most should know all water and sewage treatment for The Town of Pelham is provided through the City of Welland. Are you aware a Pelham resident pays $.889 per cubic meter of water while a resident of Welland pays $ 1.1294 per cubic meter of water?
Are you aware a Pelham resident pays $.909 per cubic meter for sewage treatment while a Welland resident is paying $1.6689 per cubic meter for sewage treatment?
Both municipalities pay the Niagara Region the same; water $0.512 per cubic meter, sewer $0.613 per cubic meter treated.
Are you aware Welland residents pay for all unaccountable water while Pelham residents pay??????
Are you aware in 2006 Welland's consumption of water was 8,521,546 cubic meters when only 6,605,248 cubic meters were accounted for and paid plus 1,916,298 cubic meters of unaccounted water, 22.53%, was paid for that we did not use, supposedly 32%?
Are you aware the factor of 32% used for unaccountable water is wrong according to city engineer Shantz who indicated back a number of months the figure should be around 22%?
All of the above figures were taken from the Regional and Welland records.
