Why does the Town of West Union need to ask for a sewer rate increase? My sewer bill is already more than my water bill. How can output cost more that intake? The water is FREE (it comes from Middle Island Creek) What do they do with all the money they make from DCMS, DCES, DCHS (schools) and the Regional Jail? I would think these bills alone would bring in thousands of dollars, if they are comparable to the average household multiplied by the number individuals at each location on any given day.

you think the water is FREE? just because it comes from the middle island creek? i am certain you do not want to drink it right out of the creek...so....it has to be cleaned up, to be fit for consumption....which...get this...costs lots of money...and guess what...sewer water has to be treated as well and it is even dirtier than the creek water...so...it costs lots too...the psc allows the town to make a certain 'profit' above cost....when it falls below a certain point...they are allowed to raise it....and now you know...the rest of the story...a suggestion, go to the town office and ask them some questions...i am sure they will be helpful in explaining the situation to you...
