A Reader asks a Question for Candidates for the Onslow County Board of Commissioners

Posted on May 16, 2008

I’d like to know from the candidates how they plan on dealing with ONWASA?

I’ve heard about all the growth speeches I want to hear.  ONWASA is the pick pocket that no one seems to be able to control.  

In case the candidates are unaware, my water charge is $11.23 and the 3/4es water usage charge is $10.19.

I’ve asked ONWASA for an explanation, that didn’t work, so now I’m asking the candidates for both parties before the election.  It will make casting my vote easier.

And it’s a valid question. ONWASA has long charged more for fees related to their expansion projects (which have, so far, resulted in minimal real expansion) than actual water usage.

What solutions do the candidates have? Some candidates have mentioned removing the elected representation from ONWASA’s board.
