Water prices have more than doubled

[Guest]

Has anyone noticed the huge increase in water since American Water took over Elizabethtown Water? Price of water to our Cranbury homes have more than doubled. Can that be true?

My record shows the following (using the bill around September as an example):

1. 9/2004: 28* (92 days): $97.40 ($97.40/28 = $3.48 )
2. 9/2005: 16 (97): $67.32 ($4.21)
3. 9/2006: 20 (95): $78.23 ($3.91)
4. 9/2007: 18 (95): $87.42 ($4.86)

(* I forgot the unit used here.)

It looks like there is an increase in 2007.

Water is free, but it is NOT cheap.
