This seems like a fair and equitable way to bill for these costs, and doesn't seem like it would cost the city much to change this, property taxes are high enough already, it is unfair to not allow this, as it is in effect a hidden tax on homeowners.

We water our yard whenever permissible by law and would be interested in deduct metering.

If we continue to be ignored we can do a local "Initiative Petition" according to the Beverly City Charter and force a ballot question if the city leadership continues to stop allowing citizens a right to use a Deduct Meter to stop citizens from being charged for something they are not using. One of the request I had in past was for there to be a limit or maximum amount of water that can be used on a Sub/Deduct Meter per quarter according to the size of your property, cubic feet capacity of a the pool and vehicles that we are already paying a excise tax on. Also a letter of understanding that under no circumstance can the water of a Sub/Deduct Meter ever enter the sewer system. If this takes place the owner will held responsible according to the Massachusetts General Laws.

Deduct meters are just a baby step in the direction of water conservation. A necessity for urban homes.

It's about time Beverly allows this. We are being hugely over charged for water.

allow for deduct meters. Folks shouldn't be charged for water used outside at the same rate.
