WTF? Cutting Off Water to Citizens of Detroit?

[LovingA2andMI]

131. Sure thing.....

From the Detroit News March 22, 2014:

"The average monthly water bill in Detroit is about $75. Delinquent bills affect rates for other customers in Detroit, but not in the suburbs, Latimer said."

Next what is the Mean:

The Mean means average. According to the information above, the AVERAGE Water bill is $75.00 a month.

Taking the mean 2x for a High Water Usage Customer $75 x 2= $150 a month bill.
Taking the mean 2. for a Low Water Usage Customer $75 / 2 =$37.50 a month bill.

Now take into account household size.

If the Household size is 4 with two children under the age of 10 years old, along with 2 adults whom wash clothes three times a week, take a bath or shower daily, wash dishes at least once per day, use water to wash hands after using the personal restroom -- plus factor in REAL LIFE situations in Detroit where the average housing stock was built between 1920-1965 (which means the pluming resources are likely older) --- then YES a family average water bill can easily range from $100-175 per month -- every month.

Any other questions Motown_Johnny?
