Dear Mr. Yagong
My name is Eric Fontes, I live in Pauka'a at 361 Kulana Road. I have a problem which I
hope you and the rest of the County Council members would take into consideration.
I know there is a law that we have to pay for our bills, but when the law says I have to
pay for a sewer bill that I feel I'm getting overcharged for, than I hope the County can
come out with another solution.
I can not see that I'm paying a high Sewer bill because I use a lot of water. I utilize
water for various things like keeping my sidewalk clean from moss build up, shooting my
drive way and garage, watering my plants, wash my car as needed, and feel that I should
not be charged a sewer fee rate based on the use of that water. This water is not going
down my sewer line.
I'm already paying a high water bill for the water I'm using and feels that I should be
charge only for the water that in going into the sewer and not on my ground. There is a
lot of people who use water such as my neighbor who washes his ginger from his farm,
it's not right for anyone to pay for sewer bill according to the water he uses.
If the County want us to pay for the use of the sewer by the actual amount of waste
water that goes in from my bathroom, then I'm willing. However, the County should be
responsible to have a meter by the sewer line so that they can calculate exactly how
much waste water ie going into the sewer from each residence.
I'm willing to pay for the amount of water that I'm using that goes into the Sewer for
the Sewer, but to charge me for the amount of water that I use that is not going into
the sewer is outrageous.
Please do something about this so we can all live with a clear mind.
Thank you very much i
Eric Fontes, Sr. ~
