No free meter for you

I heard a little while ago that, whereas PI residents in Newburyport section had to pay $520 each for new water meters as part of the water/sewer project, all the other city residents got their new meters for free.

Apparently the city got a grant for the free meters, but had already established that PI-ers had to pay for theirs by the time the city got the grant $$.

So it was another case of "too bad" out here on the island.

On the plus side there's no chance you'll be paying for years of back payments.

So you've got that going for you, which is nice.

Tom,

That is true. Hope the same for you. Thanks
