How will this be funded? There are no mentions of looking for cuts within the water department or city government. Nor are there mentions of the water department saving up for the improvements. Their answer is get money from taxpayers and increase what the citizens already pay. And it will be paid for via a bond which means citizens must pay for the interest on the loan, plus it will be unionized labor which adds a substantial cost. Typical government way of doing business. Thanks again for looking out for the taxpayers.

From: Improvements to East Providence's water system would come with rate increase, quarterly charge
