[QUOTE="TexasRancher, post: 1768060, member: 8359"] I paid $1,700. in 1995 ($3,400 in today's dollars) to punch under the road for a city water line w/ meter. Used it for a few years. Anyway they took the meter that was last used in 2020 by a leasee (if you don't use the meter for 3 months they pull it)...when i contacted them about getting water back-on (w/no delinquencies) was $400 for meter, $250 for service fee and another $125 jerk me fee...was like $800. to get the first drop of water...ahaha, told them nope, not going there. Satan is alive and well. It's better to be self-sufficient with water on your own property. What's happening in Texas with property taxes, insurance and water scams is headed towards your part of the country soon too. Local cities love money! ..once they see what's going on around them in bigger districts and other states (people talk)...they going to be shocked at how low and backwards their billing rates are and start increasing them yearly. Oh...forgot to mention last year when i was auger-ing for a fence post...i hit a huge 2" water line and tore a hole in it. No water lines were supposed to be there...previously they told me they'd have to bring it across the road...but this 2" water line had been there for decades.
