Water Bills Soak Many in Chicago
(Chicago Sun Times) — Last year, 68-year-old Anna Falco paid the City of Chicago $339.43 for water and sewer service for her home, a one-story bungalow in Bridgeport.
Just across the street, her neighbor, plumbing contractor Michael DiFoggio, paid only $175.59 — a little over half as much — even though his 7,231-square-foot home, complete with an indoor swimming pool, is five times the size of Falco’s.
