NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – Are water bills in New York City grossly inflated? Some say yes.

There is now a demand that Mayor Bill de Blasio honor a campaign promise to plug the leak in voters’ wallets, CBS 2’s Marcia Kramer reported Thursday.

Back on April 16, 2013, then-mayoral candidate de Blasio said the following:

“For decades, the water system only charged customers what it needed to cover its costs. But now, anyone who pays a water bill is sending more and more of their money into the city’s general budget. It’s wrong and it has to stop.”
