Letter: Late water fee isn't fair

I live in China Grove and received a note on my water bill that says if the bill is not paid by the 15th of the month, you will be charged a 10 percent fee.

I am a little ticked off because, honestly, what does it cost them if you pay it on the 15th or the 20th? Absolutely nothing. You can't even fall past the 24th or they will cut your water off.

The economy is suffering enough. Look at gas prices, food prices, etc. You almost can't afford to live anymore, and then you get hit with ridiculous fees like this.
