The prices are ridiculous. Why are we paying more for our water than the rich people in Garden City?

This lack of accountability affecting our water bills has gone on too too long.

Water bills are outrageous already. A 37 percent hike is criminal.

Im singing because the unnecessary tax payer funded flyers are burdensome and a waste of tax payer dollars and that money should be better spent on tax payers needs

They are significantly overpriced. The average monthly water bill in Nassau County is between $50 and $100. I’ve paid as much as $900 for a single month’s water bill.

Prices are so ridiculously high. Lived 4 blocks away, in West Hempstead water district. Paid approximately 1/10 of current Liberty charges.

To Blakeman and Ferretti: I've been unfairly overpaying for water for decades. And now Liberty gets a 37% increase?!
Stop claiming you're helping your constituents. Until this water issue is fixed, your campaign claims are a hoax.

As taxpayers were getting tortured enough already in Nassau County!! Water is a lifeline and we need to be the right price. No one should be ripping us off in government at all. Fernie got his job via an under the table deal. We did not vote him in.
Blakeman got in for one turn term and made a fool out of the Nassau County residence after he made heartwarming promises and screwed with everyone as well!! they should not be involved in our water system systems. They should not be profiting!!

Our rates keep increasing while the rates of those in neighboring areas remain low because we pay for a private water company. It doesn't have to be this way if our public officials commit to doing what is only fair.

We deserve safe water at rates that our neighbors who get town water pay. We should get water from a public entity rather than a for profit one. We are entitled to get federal funding to deal with lead pipes in our system rather than us having to foot the bill for that. We deserve fairness

Rates are too high and detailed water quality reports are not available to the public as opposed to municipal water suppliers. We need local control of our drinking water supply just like most Long Islanders. Support this takeover, the commission has taken far longer than necessary to do its job.
