Sewer Service Charges Explained!

I have been a dork for not following up on this - I'm sure it was posted ages ago on the County's website and it must have gone before the Board of Supes, too. Perhaps I was in Iceland, where I neglected a lot of things sewer as they were happening.

Well, have a look. The sewer service charges are explained on the link below - even the separate billing anomaly that caused such a stir last month at LOCAC! Actually, we are still waiting to hook up, so that is another reason I have not written about this. We have no operating and maintenance charge yet on our bill.

In case you were wondering about Iceland, they have sewage problems too! I tried to find the time to see a sewage plant, and I was in Akureyri too (see article), but alas, while on a tour, your time is booked from 8:00 a.m. until dinner.

I was in downtown Reykjavík and missed this. Darn!

You would never know this was happening though. The place is Disneyland clean everywhere, and they have water by the ton, which helps.

This looks sewage plant-like, but it is just pipes harvesting steam for power.

This looks sewage-like, but it was actually clean, slightly minerally-tasting, carbonated water. Yes, bubble water coming out of the ground!!
