Quoting: random cityThis sounds to me as though they are a government or city owned utility company and are therefore unable by law to collect taxes on their services. So instead they hit you with this "payment in lieu" which happens to equal that amount. That seems messed up, I would call them and complain. |

It usually run anywhere from $18 to $35. I know it's a percentage of something but I'm not sure if it's calculated on my Electric, Water or Sewage usage or all of the above. I'll try to figure it out. |
