PMUA Gets It Wrong Again


For all the big bucks spent at PMUA, you'd think they could be a little more detail-oriented. Plaintalker privately tried to alert the powers that be regarding an error in a special meeting notice that appeared earlier this month, but the same error is in an amended notice that was published today.

The amendment expanded the meeting's business but kept the original error, namely misstating the date. Shall we guess that they mean Wednesday, Dec. 26?

There is another meeting on Thursday, Dec. 27, which also required an amended notice after Plaintalker pointed out the sewer connection fee in the original notice was the same as last year's fee increase.

Need you a proofreader, guys!

  1. The only thing kosher about PMUA is that you actually see trucks driving around town. Beyond that it's anyone's guess. Glad to see they're handing out thank-yous to two individuals whose exemplary service helped turn it into what's closer to a Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization.

  2. EVERYTHING about the CITY OF PLAINFIELD is an embarrassment! The city is rife with incompetence, and yet it goes on and on with no end in sight.

  3. What date is the rate hearing meeting? Wasn't there a hearing regarding shared services scheduled? What time and where?
