Patch Question: Water Rate Increase

Sound off on the daily hot topic.

The Villages of Lynbrook, Valley Stream and Cedarhurst announced Monday that they are exploring the feasibility of opposing the Long Island American Water (LIAW) , presently pending before the New York Public Service Commission.

Back in June, William Varley, president of LIAW, countered by saying "No one likes a rate increase, but it's not sustainable [without one]."

What are your thoughts on the issue? Is the 20-percent increase necessary or do you not want to pay anymore for water?
