Don’t most local press stories usually say a $200,000 home?
.
…the bill on a $100,000 home would be $632.50 — $2.50 less than this year…
…An average water user’s bill will increase by $2.05 a month,
from $34.70 per month to $36.75, or a little less than 6 percent….
Greensboro News and Record, June 15, 2010
A $200,000 home = $5.00 per year less
A $50 monthly water bill = $36 per year more
= My taxes just went up about $31

This is just the beginning George. Greensboro's unnecessary investment in RanRez is costing taxpayers millions for years to come. The city bought 53% of it and has no use for it. However, the city cannot admit its mistake so excuses must be given instead.
Greensboro's monopoly water works has expanded by 75% during a 15-year decline in business and the only people who know are the ones reading my dam scam report. You can help by urging others to Google two words - dam scam.
George, we used the $200K mark before. This year we used the $100K number so that it was easier for people to multiply to figure out what a bill on a $300K or $500K house would be.
The average home in Greensboro is worth $180K or $170K.
Hi Amanda,
I agree
