Ok I just called the water company and asked if the last time my meter was read was on May 20th and the new rates went into effect on July 1st. Was I going to pay different rates from May 20 until June 30th the answer was " NO " I don't understand how a company can charge you higher rates when they didn't own the company. People of Wilmington it's time we ALL take a stand. If we left them get away with this, What will be next ? We all have got to stick together on this one.. If we all pay a small amount on our new bill they can't run the company. It time to let the City of Wilmington and New Hanover County how we ALL feel... Don't forget Nov. is coming... VOTE !!!!!
