Water used to be managed by a local cool here where I live. I had been for decades.

A few months ago i got an email saying that PE had acquired it.

I was paying between ~$25/month before. Today i got the first bill from new management for $89.

Same volume/usage, nothing significantly different.

Sigh.



Definitely complain to you local water/utility regulator, and your state representative.


Regional regulators have to approve the transfer of ownership of water utilities. The best time to fight this sort of thing is as early as possible.


I had no idea about any of this. I’ll talk with my neighbors and see if there’s anything we could do
