Water Repair Price Tag Daunting But Necessary
Yael T. Abouhlakah
Very good piece by Yael summarizing the tough task ahead for KCMO Water Services as noted in a previous post. As he puts it, required sewer and water increases for the next five years will be a "stunning 80 percent over that period" Even more stunning was the failure of our WL City Council to pass along the increase that was assessed by KCMO this year. Result? The nest egg built has quickly eroded. Remember, we (WL) have to maintain our own water and sewer lines, the money we pay to KCMO is , in part for their maintenance issues. The rate increase could be even worse if a EPA crackdown pushes the annual increase to 25% for sewer.
You won't read this in Weatherby Lake Living, but at least you should know...and be prepared. Questions? Call your alderman.
