If the Stone Harbor spouter had been following the whole budget mess for the last year they would know that for years any upgrades or improvements to water and sewer and other departments were carried in town budget. Since the large amounts of new property tax revenue has slowed down the budget can only be balanced by pushing these expenses to each department. Still the same amount of debt but in a new place. As it is we are paying to much for the water we are billed. The 3 summer months usage which is largest is also charged for the other 3 quarters. So you pay the same all year long.
