Editor:
The City of White Rock recently purchased from Epcor their water system which will be owned and managed by the city moving forward.
On their city website they indicate in an example from last November and December what their first monthly charge would be versus what Epcor would have been – $28.74 versus $24.89… a 15 per cent increase right off the bat.
The city buys the utility and price increases immediately. How long are we all going to take this?
The government feeding frenzy – at all levels – continues unabated!

(Editor’s note: The city estimates Epcor would have increased the comparable 2016 rate to $41.58, including hydrant fee, but $38.60 through White Rock.)
