We, the residents of the Live Oak Community, Deltona Florida, do declare that the charges for sewage on water used for external irrigation, are unfair and represents a form of usury. As such, we do, hereby, request of the City Of Deltona and Deltona Water, that one or more of the following three (1-3) remedies be affected immediately, but not later than 60 days of this request:
1. That the residents of Live Oak be provided with effluent (reclaimed) water for the purpose of external irrigation.
2. That the residents of Live Oak be given a separate, second meter for the sole purpose of external irrigation, with no sewage charges applicable.
3. That the residents of Live Oak be given a price adjustment for sewage to reduce the charge by no less than 50% for expected external irrigation usage.
In addition:
4. The residents of Live Oak also request that we be given a refund of the estimated sewage charges that have already been paid and will continue to be paid assigned to water used for irrigation, until a remedy is met.
5. In response to the recent City MCL violation, that the residents of Live Oak be given IMMEDIATELY a filter specific to TTHM until the water levels of our area are within FDEP standards (which is projected to take 18 months.
I am honestly a bit overwhelmed by the way so many of you have stepped up to support this. Seeing this kind of energy for our neighborhood issue is something I never could have expected, and the credit for this momentum belongs entirely to you.

Total garbage that they charge us to water the grass like it goes down the drain. Absolute robbery.

My water bill is insane for a single house. Give us a second meter already.

We are getting ripped off plain and simple. Deltona needs to stop charging us for sewer on irrigation water right now.

This is a total rip off. Why am I paying sewage rates for water that just goes back into my lawn? Fix it.

I am concerned about the water quality too. We need filters installed immediately. Tired of drinking sludge.
