Water district bill issues

Who’s water bill am I paying? I live in the Water District #3 area of Butler County. In February of this year, my meter was changed over to a new meter. My readings have never been this high before and my bill is through the roof. I noticed a person from the water district out at my meter one day and asked him what he was up to. The young man stated he was doing meter audits to make sure meters were in the proper locations. I watched as he checked the entire street from my house. This makes me wonder, just who’s bill am I paying and is this meter reading really mine. After all, its now November, going into December. Is there an issue with our meters in Water District 3?

What Smith didn’t say

Our congressman, Jason Smith, had a case closed article in the paper, said Ukrainians received their meeting and received their security assistance, but what he didn’t mention was, it was a week or two after they found out there was probably going to be impeachment hearings over it. Also he stated that Speaker Pelosi was scared to let the voters decide who the next president. I don’t know about her, but I’m concerned about the Russians and Wikileaks having the thing into the election of President Trump.

Seniors are dependable

Hello, I just wanted the public to know that (a local business) is closing the classes that are well attended by the seniors, senior population. And that leaves us with nothing except there’s a water class and there’s the equipment, but we like yoga classes and pilates and things like that. But they’re adding hip hop classes and things like that and something like b-u-t-i classes. And they’re taking our noon classes away as well as our evening classes. And the staff there won’t hear us, they won’t listen to us, they won’t even give a chance to talk to them. Neither will they allow any input from the instructors that are providing these classes for us. We seniors are very dependable. We go on a regular basis and we hardly ever miss unless we’re sick. The younger population is not as dependable, so they’re making a lot of money from us because our insurance pays for our membership and so they don’t make any payments and we’re consistent. The payments are more to them for one person than what the membership is. That’s what I’m told anyway.
