Tell the City to make water bills fair and affordable.

Water bills in Wilmington have been going up fast. Many of us are paying as much a month as we used to pay every quarter. Water billing should pay for water/sewer services and not be used as a back-door tax.
The city is using harmful collections tactics like water shut-offs and foreclosures to collect back-due water bills.
We need the City to reduce the harm of its billing practices on families and neighborhoods and develop a rate structure that is fair and makes water affordable for everyone.
Ask City Council to Vote NO! to raising water bills:
- Don't support 5.8% water rate increase this year
And YES! to create protection for people:
- Stop using foreclosure to collect overdue water bills from homeowners.
- End water shut-offs for families with a senior, disabled person, or child under 5.
- Set water rates to maintain infrastructure and make water bills affordable.
