Water

A reminder that tentatively the city will be flushing hydrants on October 22 and 23. Keep that in mind if you have some white laundry to do. The water could get a little dirtier then, as rust gets flushed thru the system.

On a completely unrelated note, I saw a chart showing average sewer and water bills of all municipal systems in the United States.

For water in '08 it was $23.45 and in '09 it was $25.66. My last water bill was $41.19 for what it is worth.

For sewer in '08 it was $31.29, in '09 it was $33.80. My last sewer bill was $30.21, FWIW.

Not sure how Roland as a whole stacks up to that national average, but I thought it worthy of putting that comparison out there.
