Dear Guilford County residents on City of Greensboro water and sewer; Your bills are about to go up about 8.5%, and the News and Record didn't tell you

"The Greensboro City Council raised water and sewer rates by 4.5 percent Tuesday...

A city resident who pays $40 a month for water and sewer service will pay about $1.80 more — $21.60 a year.

People outside Greensboro who use city water and sewer will pay an average of $4.40 more a month — about $52 more a year..."

I pay about $60 per month, meaning mine will go up about $32.40 per year

The same household outside City limits is probably paying twice that.

$120 x 0.085 = $10.2 x 12 = $122.40 per year for Guilford County etc... residents

Just in case you were misled by the City and Margaret Moffett

That's how the game works.

Tell the public some bullshit and get away with it, with the help of a compliant press who don't mind lying to the public for elected leaders.
