What is really eating my yearly salary is something that is never talked about by local agencies. The hot housing market will slow when the 3 percent hike annually in water in sewer rates becomes equal to your taxes. I'm talking about MWRA.....thank you Mr. Dukakis for not appropriating federal funding to clean up the Harbor. Water and sewer at my address runs $2,800.00 to $3,200.00 a year....ouch, Lynfield pays $500.00.
Did the Melrose Howlands pollute Boston Harbor? Conversely people in Worcester didn't either but the cost to bear, was saddled to approximately 60 communities
within the Commonwealth of Cash. Apply rates broadly and fairly.....someday.
Tell me I can pitch a tent on the witches.... I'm there!

That water and sewer bill was one of the reasons I sold and moved to NH in 1991. I saw those costs increasing faster than my property value and jumping ahead of the property taxes. Although my brother still has the family business located in Melrose. Moving to NH was the best decision I have made.
