ed [email] said at 5:28 PM 03-09-2005: I pay a fixed $30 a month, built into my rent. I am the only human in my apartment. I am getting ripped off, but there's nothing I can do about it... except not feeling guilty for not having them come replace my toilet, which has been doing the constant slow-run for at least 6 months.
myriam [email] said at 5:52 PM 03-09-2005: I rent with 3 others, there is another apt upstairs in the house with 6 people in it, and we don't have to pay for water and sewage in the house.
myriam [email] said at 5:52 PM 03-09-2005: actually it's sort of standard to include water and sewage in boston. i don't know a single renter who pays them. they often include heat up here too, depending...
brandon [email] said at 6:21 PM 03-09-2005: You should also check to see if MD bundles trash-pickup with sewage and water - many municipalities do, and that can bump up the cost.
Or it could be all those wetbacks in college park conspiring to flush out the gringos...
meredith [email] said at 10:31 AM 03-10-2005: I have never paid for sewage/water. I mean, I'm sure it's always built into my rent, but I've never had the breakdown.
julie [email] said at 10:35 AM 03-10-2005: Water/Sewer is somewhere around... $15-20 a month for the whole house, I think. (3 residents who don't bathe or do laundry terribly often. No dishwasher, either.)
