SCRANTON, LACKAWANNA COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — Rates for water could be on the rise for residents in Scranton and Dunmore. Earlier in November, Pennsylvania American Water (PAW) proposed water and sewage rate increases of up to 32% for the areas of Scranton and Dunmore.

After Scranton and Dunmore homeowners were hit with a more than 70% rate increase back in January, PAW has proposed even more increases, ranging from 25% to 32%.

“We cannot expect our constituents between paying their utility bills or affording essential medicines,” Fylnn explained.

We have California American Water which is probably the same company. They bought the rights out here after a 150-year contract for water expired and are in the process of renovating the underground infrastructure, i.e., big taco bills now and into the future as far as the eyes can see.

Everyone's looking for bargains. I can't find a bargain for iphone15. Even Apple store not offering any incentives.
Other than that, can't wait for the many savings coming after Thanksgiving sales.

Many water/sewer infrastructure around here are old and failing. Water bills are continually increasing. Same as PG&E with recent increase anticipated to add another $30 on monthly bill soon.
