Senator David Carlucci today will call on the state Public Service Commission (PSC) to formally reject a bid by United Water to hike utility bills on its customers and instead go back to the drawing board.� Under the proposal, customers would be saddled with a $144 dollar annual increase in their water bills, a sharp increase of nearly $12 per month.
He will be joined Monday by Rockland homeowners who are already stretched to the breaking point and cannot afford any additional rate increases.� If the measure ultimately goes through, by June of next year ratepayers could be on the hook for an annual bill reaching upwards of $880.
The proposed hike by United Water comes just after the utility company decided in June it would seek to tack on a $4.96 per month surcharge for a four-person family�s bill, beginning in August, to cover costs associated with the controversial desalination project in Haverstraw.

I have no respect for Carlucci. He voted to legalize gay rights in NY. Let’s see if Monsey remembers this in the next election.
