Richard Haverland’s power bill: Part two
MARK SCHUMANN
A review the latest utility bills issued to members of the Indian River Shores Town Council revealed that Richard Haverland consumed 46,000 gallons of water from July 15 through August 13. For his high consumption of potable water, Haverland was charged $373.88. In comparison, his power bill from Vero Electric was $230.72.
Ironically, Haverland’s bill for consuming 46,000 gallons of water in one month was more than it would have been, if he and his fellow Indian River Shores Town Council members had not insisted Vero Beach charge them and their fellow Shores residents the same rates charged by Indian River County’s water and sewer utility. Had Haverland not insisted on being charged county water and sewer rates, his August water bill would have been $267.36.
A further irony is that if Haverland were still on Vero Beach water rates, the savings would more than cover the rate differential between Vero Electric and Florida Pwoer & Light.

Proof that money does not make you smarter.
Indian River Shores really did a good job in negotiating their water contract. LOL. The Sunshine Boys are “all wet” when it comes to FPL and their water fees. Indian River Shores would face a brighter future without the Sunshine Boys.
