Correcting blogger in Saco on water rates

To the residents of Saco:

I just found out that one of our citizens has a new website out. I’m glad somebody wants to let people know what’s going on in town, and what’s happening at our council meetings.

When I read his newsletter that he posted. He misunderstood us, about our hook up fees. We are now working on a fee, for people who wish to hook up to our main water line. The expenses will be for meters, curb stops, meter pits, labor and etc.

We have a separate fee, (not $300) for people who want their water turned on, after the water was shut off, for any reasons that was mentioned on this site.

I’m not trying to offend anyone, or start a war, just wanted to let people know about the facts, before rumors got to wild in town. I do wish that the facts are straight before being posted.

We do want people to come to these meetings, so they can learn what’s going on. We do have a person coming to our next meeting to discuss the water rates with everybody.
