I find this outrageous. I recently moved from the City of Chino to Ontario. My utility bill has gone from an average of $80 a month to $120 a month even though I use the same amount of water. One would figure that Chino has to import their drinking water as well. Sounds like just another way for politicians to raise taxes without calling it a tax. Perhaps our local piliticians should learn how to spend within their budgets.

B.S.! he city has at least NINE WELLS !!! a couple of which were recently built, one of them is on 8th . st between Baker and Vineyard !!!! where do they come with importing water !!!

Many people have taken advantage of the Ontario Cares Program in which the contractors have stated that the sprinkler NOW must run 4 times in a 24 hour period....yeah I can see my water bill jumping to over $300.00 a month....you can come and take your grass back !!!!!

Just another way they can get money for employee raises like LA did. LA is falling apart, but they got great raises last year. The people who run these water places are not even voted in. The just keep laughing and getting raises.

Daily Horoscope for December 11

Scorpio

Take it slowly today otherwise you'll be almost guaranteed to lose your temper and make yourself very unpopular in the process. If someone is annoying you, you won't need any encouragement to start a row because you're looking for outlets for your current ire and irritation. OK, but do your best to direct your anger at the person who deserves it and not at innocent bystanders.
