Let's not forget how the City has used the $2.5 million. 10% of every water bill gets diverted or skimmed from the water fund and transferred into the City's General Fund. 80% of the General Fund goes to cover public safety employee salaries and benefits. The General Fund does not contribute any funds back into the water system. Removing this hidden tax would allow the water system to retain about $2.5-million for pipe replacement.
