Ahhhhh........a user fee. It’s a tax. Geez
Where’s General Washington? Trenton needs to be taken again
Don't joke; it will be next. They'll force us to wear little devices that measure the number and volume of our exhalations and assess "user fees" accordingly.
Tax the hell out liberal scum!!!

If you try to sit, I’ll tax your seat,
If you get too cold, I’ll tax the heat,
If you take a walk, I’ll tax your feet’

And you’re working for no one but ME’
George Harrison was prescient. But IIRC, the taxes in Britain were off the wall. Another line of the song goes ‘If 5% appears too small, be thankful I don’t take it all’. The income tax on higher earners, like The Beatles, was 95% in the 60’s.
exactly, the stupidity to tax things essential to being alive
A friend in PA says she had to pay a “moving tax” when she moved. (She had to move as the owner was selling the place.)
“It’s a user fee based on volume”
Ummm, that’s called your water bill.

Property tax cap offsets. Besides, didn’t the U.N. make water a human right?
Hey dem! you can shove your “user fee” up where the sun don’t shine.
Don’t people who own property pay for their own water? The amount due is based on their usage during the billing period. Are they taxed on their water bills, or do they pay some city fees already, like sewer? I’ve never owned a home, but have always rented so any water usage has been included in my rent.
People’s water bills should cover the cost of service, including externalities such as any environmental fixes the state deems necessary. Since water is delivered as a public utility, the rate structure must also cover new capacity and service extensions. If there’s a deficit, why not just increase water rates by the amount necessary? Why a new, separate tax?
Don’t come to Florida if you a Jersey progressive. Stay where you are and eat your peas.

Isn’t there a tax already on utilities?
Don’t they already have a utility tax for water and sewer service or is this a state tax on top of the municipal utility tax?
I thought that was what the utility bill was for. Silly me. I know user fees or assessments can be levied based on run-off produced. This is done as part of drainage control. But for the use of water going into the home? I’ve not heard of this being done before. It might work to require a separate meter for outside spigots, taps and limit that usage when there is a drought.
Don’t these people already pay water usage fees? I know I do. To add a tax on top of it? Where is the tea stored?
If they want money, then sell your capitol building. Keep putting up with this BS.
