Noticed FB talking about Water in the main town of Republic?......

 New Ownership at Park!


Raise in monthly lot rentals but now without water or sewer in fixed price:( A New Utility Company has been started just for the Park? There are no meters.
So a set price will be charged each month extra?
Per-person!!!!!! $20.23 !


The bigger households ? Wow! 

One person with out a working washing machine or a working dish washer. A broker hot water tank with no hot water for baths tub baths or showers! Only the old fashion sponge baths, does not get the full advantage of living alone with all the extras:)


Never learned repair work! Why not? Afraid the only willing teachers were not too great? lol ....  I might fix it worse then leaving it a minor repair, for someone else, .......when I get the extra money some day for repairs?

Alcida Ware its HORRIBLE water!!! and WAY TOO expensive!!! Dont move here!! its been advised by our vet, NOT TO give small children nor pets water right out of the faucet. it causes blockage in felines. and who knows what in humans. AND THEY CHARGE 4 TIMES THE AMOUNT THAN YOU ACTUALLY USE!! ive asked why, and got some answers that would blow you all away!! one was, " well, there isnt a way to meter the water that ends up on the ground in the summer from washing your cars, or pools, or what have you, so we estimate usage to be 4 times the incoming water." and to this I replied, " really?" , " because YES you can meter it, YOU ARE METERING IT PER GALLON AS IT GETS PUMPED INTO OUR HOME!!" HA HA HA HA HA HA HA. They even sent Mr. Brock in to talk to us, he didn't give a straight answer. Maybe someone else can get an answer. try, and post it. id like to know why and why they won't explain it. the director of finances (at that time) couldn't answer it either. and he gives the city officials the advice and expenditure reports, and reviews and such. hummm.......


April Sheets: My sewer bill is twice that of the water usage, I've never been billed 4 times the amount of the water bill. I believe it has something to do with the way in which it is pumped, how many pumps they have to maintain, elevation, etc.. I heard they tried to revamp the infrastructure several years ago and voters declined the tax increase for a more efficient system. Maybe someone else can elaborate further on this. They do know how much water is going through your meter, but there is no way to determine how much of that usage is going into the sewer system. If you fill a large pool for example, you can call and typically they will make an adjustment off the sewer portion of your bill. But, to clarify and/or validate, call city hall. I don't know how they arrived at billing double the water usage, unless they base it off the months they are averaging where people are not watering, filling pools and washing cars, etc..
