I know, I know. I was defining disaster as, you know, inflated bills, infrastructure ruined by lack of investment (and the waste involved), etc.

Re: Water Privatization (none / 0)

$0.016 per cubic foot seems to be the rate in Colorado Springs. But it's going to go up soon, because people are conserving and because new home building has diminished.

It would be interesting to compare domestic water rates around the world...

C Springs - wow - (none / 1)

I used to love the place. I heard that Michelle's (?) ice cream is gone. True?

Water in Stevenson, WA (city system)is $.024 per cubic foot after the initial 400 cubic feet at $.04 per. Rate hasn't changed in a bunch of years.

Re: C Springs - wow - (none / 0)

Michelle's ice cream and candy store in Colorado Springs is indeed gone, but that general area is in much better shape--businesswise--than it was a few years ago. Downtown is Booming, in fact...
