Insane water bills in Lake Havasu City, AZ
Clean water is essential to life. "Progress" is sometimes evil, as demonstrated in the governing of Lake Havasu City, AZ.
Two years ago the water bill was $30 a month. Now it's $100 a month because the city put in a sewer system when the septic system that the town was on was working just fine. Greed.
So now we're being charged more than triple the rate for water. Pay it or do without as turn off notices are issued in 30 days from when the bill was sent.
I truly live in the dumbest place in America, as reported by Forbes Magazine.

Lake Havasu City has topped a list it probably would rather have stayed off of: worst-educated city.
When Forbes magazine released its annual rankings of the U.S.’s best- and worst-educated cities last week, Lake Havasu City appeared as number one in the “worst” category. The story was accompanied by a postcard view of Bridgewater Channel and the London Bridge.
To be accurate, the Forbes ranking applies to the Lake Havasu City-Kingman metropolitan statistical area, which encompasses all of Mohave County."

Must have been somebody generating cash flow.They said it was all about ground water quality....Although having septic tank pumped was never an option...even though many of the homes are vacant part of the time...not that it really matters, the septic tank can't make it to ground water, the entire area is built on one big rock.
