Water/Sewer rates for 2008 in Welland

Most citizens of Welland know the month of January is the time of year the city council presents their new water/sewer rates, rates that really disturb the taxpayers of Welland as they are never realistic.
The city has yet to inform the citizens of Welland why they are paying more for water consumption and sewage treatment than the Town of Pelham when Pelham is serviced by Welland.
The city has yet to inform the citizens of Welland why they are being charged 32% for unaccountable water when the city's own engineer said it should be between 20% and 22%.
The city of Welland has yet to inform the citizens of Welland why the sewage treatment is a great deal more than the water consumption especially for the past summer when it was almost drought conditions vs. other municipalities in the Region where the differences were more realistic. The excuse of combined water and sewer lines and heavy rainfall, pardon the pun, do not hold water, as other municipalities have similar situations.
The city has yet to inform the citizens of Welland if the Town of Pelham is charged for unaccountable water and sewage overflow when serviced from Welland.
The taxpayers are entitled to answers and must rely on the media to provide this type of information, information which is not too often forthcoming for unknown reasons
