Holiday Cheer from PMUA?

For the first time I can remember, the Plainfield Municipal Utilities Authority is giving advance notice of a rate hearing including the "From" and "To" rates.

Take notice that it will be at 6 p.m. in advance of the regular meeting of Jan. 19, 2010 at 127 Roosevelt Ave.

Here's a quick summary:

"The proposed rate changes will be effective April 1, 2010. All other fees, rates and charges remain unchanged. The Authority shall provide evidence at the hearing showing that the proposed adjustment is necessary and reasonable and shall provide the opportunity for cross-examination on such evidence. A transcript of the hearing shall be made and a copy thereof shall be available upon request to any interested party upon payment of a reasonable fee. The Rate Hearing is open to all members of the public."

The legal notice is on Page D-4 of today's Courier News.

Leave it to PMUA to give us a gift of this stature. Just what we need, more money out of pocket to pay for their junkets to AC and beyond!

Garbage rates going up again? For what? This is absurd. They keep jacking up my rates because they know I can't go elsewhere

To 10:32pm - You may want to try contacting Abba or Grand Sanitation services. They may be cheaper and they pick up your garbage in your yard. You do not have to put it on the street.
