One response to “Orion Twp. — ORD. 68, Water and Sewer Amendments to Water and Sewer Regulations”

  1. Quite a jump. I’m already paying for 3 times as much water as I use. Now I will be paying even more for water that I don’t use. I don’t understand why the minimum is 1000. Could it possibly be that seniors and singles are needed to subsidize larger families?
