Water in France, where you pay more for sewerage than drinking water... In fact the money they charge you (which increases ridiculously every year) for two people, costs
on average €800 per annum.
In our case it has gone from €200 in 2008 to: 2009 – €195, 2010 – €188 (when we were living here), 2011 was €200 again, then suddenly in 2012 it shot up to €737, 2013 dropped to €568, 2014 – €500, 2015 – €815, 2016 – €793, and 2017 – €755.
We think we are being forced into paying exorbitant water fees so the commune (mayor) can look good.*
Love to have this published and get some feedback from others living in France.
