Discount or Rebate should be given for consistent unusable water in Ilion, NY.
Final supporters
We, the residents of Ilion, NY are seeking to be reimbursed and/or given discounts on our water bill due to consistently not being able to use it safely. There have been several boil water advisory notices, lasting longer than a week at a time! During these times, we are forced to find safe water elsewhere & pay for that water also. The current algae issue (or whatever it may be) is also NOT safe & once again we're buying safe water. While we do understand it happens once & a while, it's beyond ridiculous here in Ilion lately & far outlasts a normal amount of time for repair. Since we're charged a HEFTY $50 fee if we're but minutes late on our water bill, surely WE should be compensated for paying for a service that is NOT being provided properly. or in a timely fashion. For instance, when we have no usable water, we should be given a fair credit of $50 for OUR inconvenience & our out of pocket water costs. If the person/persons in charge are unable to maintain safe quality water, we also request that someone more qualified & able to meet that task in a TIMELY manner are hired on. Thank you.

My water has been brownand smelled for months now. My bill was the highest it's ever been last quarter and I couldn't even use it 85% of the time. Something needs to be done and the residents need to be compensated!!
The cost of having to buy safe water & the hassle of doing it should not be on US the residents of Ilion, but rather the city that is unable to correct the water issues!!
My water has been discolored since August 6th. I know for a fact, since that's when I tried filling a pool for my son's birthday party.
This water is not safe to consume!
I won't drink it! I don't feel it's safe for me or my kids but we still have to pay for it. Wrong!
We should get rebates or discounts on our water bills. We pay to have clean and useable water. Having to buy water is expensive.
Fix it, it's a huge problem that doesn't need to be continuously occurring.

My land lord pays for my water bill and I still have to buy drinking water, I have a 3 month old that I use water to make her formula. I also have to buy more expensive cleaner to clean the rust out of my tub and toilet.
