In the course of events, one must choose the inequities in life they must deal with on a daily basis if one is to survive. Granted heat, a place out of the rain and a drop to drink are some of the essentials. Water and disposal of all my my crap right up there as being one of those absolute necessities one cannot live without.
Now let me explain my bitch. I just received my latest monthly water bill. In it I used a mere 2 Cons, meaning less than 2,000 gallons for my November usage. I spent about $3,500 last year and removed most of my lawn. See my bill below.
The actual water usage charge, $5.14. The rest, a total bunch of crap every Napa Valley city and town imposes, $90.40 worth. My actual water usage percentage, 5.37% of the total $95.54 due. I wish I could change things but this the reality for the price of a glass of water these days.
Just my two cents worth.
