A letter to the people
This is a letter that was sent out to residents in the east end of Hamilton residing in Hamilton City Housing (subsidized) yesterday. It shows the corruption between the City of Hamilton, Horizon Utilities and Hamilton Housing and how they are manipulating less fortunate individuals in our community by making them assume responsibility for an essential service such as Water (consumption, sewer and installation)
February 24, 2009
To Whom It May Concern:
It has come to our attention that you are being asked to assume certain financial responsibilities namely the installation of a Water Meter and consumption and disposal of said Water. If you live in Hamilton Housing the obligation is not yours to pay for the installation of that meter, as you do not own the house. Further more it is our understanding that there are a number of people that have had the domestic water, and the sewer included in their lease. So if you are being asked or feel intimidated and feel that you have to pay for this said service (water consumption and installation of meter) on your Hydro bill, I would caution you to pay only the hydro consumption and in doing so make it perfectly clear to Horizon Utilities or other utilities that the monies you pay are for Hydro by written notice. If you feel that there is a need to get further information or to clarify the issues, feel free to call us. We are making attempts and will be forwarding our concerns to the Utilities, Hamilton Housing and all members of City Council. If you wish to do some research on your own, check your lease and I am sure that you will find in most cases if not all cases, domestic water is included in your rent and you are certainly not obligated to pay for a piece of equipment of someone else’s house. To assist in dealing with this matter, feel free to call your Councillor Sam Murella 24Hr. Pager / 7 Days a Week: 905-777-7491 or
Email: smerulla@hamilton.ca and your Mayor Fred Eisenberger at Bus. Phone: 905-574-FRED (3733) or via email at mayorfred@hamilton.ca to complain about the attempt to rip you off of what little money you get every month.
