DELAWARE COUNTY, Pa. - There's a war over water in Delaware and Chester counties. Aqua Pennsylvania is looking to acquire the Chester Water Authority.
Some customers are fighting back against this deal. Santo Mazzeo, a Garnet Valley resident, is one of 49,000 customers of the Chester Water Authority spread over a few dozen municipalities across Chester and Delaware counties.
He says that by Aqua’s current rates, his bill would go from $130 a quarter to $130 a month."The privatization of water is not in the public’s best interest," said Mazzeo.
