Hydrant meter question
I was Pressure washing miles of curbing and sidewalks. When I got my first bill from the water department they hit me with a Base Fee of well over$150. This is not for water or hook up or deposit. It was for sewer and other things as I was told. I have used meters before but for smaller jobs at other citys.
So you pw that use meters on hydrants is this base fee common?
 
Flagler County - I told them I wouldnt be using the sewer and was told. All contractors pay for this when going to a meter. It was more for the base than for the water cost.
 
I agree w/Greg! I remember when I renewal my business tax license this past Sept their was a $40.00 'Administration Handling Fee.' I asked the lady why so high of a fee and she replied with, "It how the city collects extra $$$!"
 
He is going to need more than one trailer for that. I lost a bid that would of taken me two months to finish to a guy with one machine and a 125 gallon tank. It took him well over 6 months to finish. I also lost a large sidewalk cleaning bid to a guy with a 500 gallon tank strapped to a pontoon boat trailer.

No problem, Greg I learn alot from you and many others on the board. I owe a big part on how well we are doing by either talking or reading the post over many years.

There are only a couple of handful of guys that really know what they are talking about on PWI and you are one of them.
