The action that they are putting on us is not right , we didn't cause the problem , so we shouldn't have to pay it off .this be started several years ago, someone in the office was taking $$$$_ that didn't belong to them, they tried to get my monthly payment and got caught by me , but had to put it back, when confronted . Needless to say I wasn't one of their favorite people to come in.

Why do I have to pay extra for water that is not clean to drink and that I have to boil? Disgraceful

I’m very upset (pissed) at the whole situation and have been for years. Apparently we need a new mayor. Constantly no water,when it has to be filtered to use. What about people on fixed income that can’t afford it? It’s not right by any means, and I’m beginning nice. Not saying what I. REALLY want to! 23 years and nothing’s changed and I was already sick of the high prices when we have water saving appliances. Many don’t! It sucks! People can’t afford it, but no one cares. Shame on y’all

0 communication. Our bill has more than doubled, with no increase in usage. If I owned a company and had to file for a chapter of bankruptcy, how could I push those charges to my customers? If I'm missing something, please let me know. It's unfair and Perla needs a major overhaul on their management.

Mismanagement should not result in this set price. My mother lives alone and is on a fixed income and she has complained several times of her meter not being read every month. Since there are people that have requested repairs for years and repairs not being completed just exactly what we’re the workers paid to do, since they were not reading meters or fixing repairs. Sounds like they were getting paid and not doing the job.....is it the water users fault to be charged now bc people did not properly do their job for years? Sounds to me like an investigation be done to find out why people received payment for jobs not done. Not water users fault. They should have had employees that worked on a daily basis and not people getting paid for work that hasn’t been done for years!

I live in Perla. We have contacted the water office several times to come fix the leak and our meter at 193 Downing Lane & they have not fixed this leak or the meter as of now and it’s been 1-1/2 years.

Our water bill is continually outragously high. I have gone in and complained many times. My meter has been broken and full of water for several years and had the mayor tell me they would replace it 2 years ago which they have not. Many times it can't even be read from the moisture inside the glass. This month our bill is 4 Xs our normal monthly bill !!! Something must be done !!!

The man that reads our meter told me he only checks it every few months. That they just go by the past few months to see if has increased.

We need to elect a board and workers. Perla has made stuff up as they go and they have no clue what they've been doing for years. We need to clean this mess up the right way!

Just Plain Ridiculous... Mayor Adams ; STRAIGHT OUT REFUSE'S to name board member's. WHY ?? Not reading meter's. WHY ?? Some riding around in white truck's and NOT reading meter's. WHY NOT ?? Not marking water line's. ( WHY NOT ) ?? RAISING water prices ?? Hmm. Water get's shut of and people have to pay a $50.00 reconnect fee and it use to be a $25.00 reconnect fee. WHY ??? did they have to file bankruptcy in the first place ??? This make's absolutely NO SENCE at all. I have NEVER known of a water department having to go bankrupt... It make's NO SENCE. WHERE did ALL of the money go from ALL of the resident's paying their water bill's ??? WHERE did every bit of it go ??? Maybe everybody should THINK about that... Raising our water bill's , refusing to tell people who are on the board , not marking line's , etc... Hiding Something ??? Hmmm

This is unacceptable! Raising prices due to poor management.

I believe the Revolutionary War was started because "No taxation without representation. " So...no fees without representation!

Something needs to be done about the mismanaging of the money and maybe hold the mayor accountable for all of this because from what I read in the past the water company had money for the repairs and now they want to put it off on us

This ain't right. Charging people more than you charge in Malvern, and still charging a $15 membership fee? That's just crooked.

The people deserve a voice & have a right to demand answers for the mismanagement of OUR water association!

Other surrounding water company’s do not charge that much. Perla waters fault not the community! I would switch company’s but we obviously can’t do that. Almost feels like we are being taken advantage of.
