Water rates rising

THE TOWN OF ST. STEPHEN is proposing an increase of 13.5 per cent in utility billing, which means the average annual residential water bill of $405 will jump $55 to $460.

In today's LOOKING BACK column we note that 60 years ago the rates jumped from $10 per year to $12.

Do the math - in 2068 your water bill will be approximately one kajillion dollars.
