Tiers in Heaven
Tuesday, December 16th, 2003A “tiered” structure for anything doesn’t usually bode well, unless it’s a wedding cake. A2’s new water rates are no exception. Under the new plan, consumers who use more water will be charged a higher rate - a “consumer” being anything from a retired couple in one of those lovely old homes on Washtenaw to a family of four to five students sharing a house. Five students living in separate apartments, where they will likely use more resources, will collectively pay less under the new plan.
