From the NY Post:Relief is on the way for homeowners hosed for years with double-digit increases in their water bills.
The city Department of Environmental Protection today will introduce a four-year efficiency plan expected to slash future hikes, The Post has learned.
The DEP paid the environmental consulting firm Veolia Water to figure out ways to hack $100 million to $200 million off its roughly $1.2 billion operation.
Fully implemented, the plan would lower the rate of regular water-bill increases by 3 to 6 percent annually.
The water bill for a single-family home currently averages $877. The projected reduction would reduce future hikes and save customers $27 to $54 annually, sources said.

How much did the DEP pay the consulting firm?
WOW...a reduction of $27 to $54 annually.
Either an overall increase in property tax, sales tax, income tax, electric and/or sewer expenses will offset this supposed discount.
As if everyone's income increases 3 to 6 percent annually...
Isn't Veolia the same company that's now running Long Island Bus?
Pardon me while I pass some water!
Another Bloomberg screw job!
I'd love to flush Mayor Mike down the drain along with my effluent.
