Just a little FYI, businesses do not pay taxes, they collect taxes. Taxes are a cost of doing business like rent, utilities, fuel, salaries, insurance, materials cost…and as such is included in the cost of the services or product that the customer purchases (a hidded tax on the customer, if you will). So truly taxes on corporations are just a hidden tax on the customer. If you want to complain about a corporation make it about how much they pay their CEOs, CFOs and other chief operating officers compared to their hourly wage earners not about the taxes they may or may not pay.

As much as I hate price increases and have no affiliation with ECUA or any of its employees, due to out of control inflation we’re experiencing right now their operating costs have increased as well.
It’s a viscous circle, gas prices have increased so FPL had to increase their prices (They generate power only from gas now) ECUA uses a lot of power so their bill has gone way up. Cost of chemicals to treat water has skyrocketed, insurance has gone up, fleet maintenance costs have increased, they have no choice but to raise their rates. It’s an unfortunate effect.

With the prices of fuel going up, it costs more to fuel the ECUA vehicles. Inflation affects everyone.

A rate increase for what improved service? The recycle plant has been down more than its been up! What’s the purpose of it when it hardly operates. I say vote “NO” and then let the cards fall where they may. I’m willing to bet they will still operate as poorly as they do now.

I bought my house 2 1/2 years ago in Cantonment. It was built in 1993 and trash service had NEVER been started here.
They noticed somehow and then threatened me that “If I didn’t start service there-I would be charged a $1000 fine”. I’m done with this whole area around here-we just get screwed every way we turn and I’m sick of it.
All the neighbors need to band together and start hauling to the dump as a group! Cancel your ECUA service stating “I’m moving out of state”.
They miss my garbage half the time anyway!

right because when fpl prices skyrocketed that was very humane so let’s increase water and trash bills because we hate humanity.

We already went from twice a week to once a week garbage pick up. It;s always the citizens that bear the price and compromise.

Explain why with all the new residents and building they are picking up more while they were already going by there. WHY? Everyone knows volume is where your profit is under good management. Maybe that’s the problem, poor management?
