BROCKTON WATER RALLY CREATES FLOODS OF MEDIA ATTENTION!



     The Brockton Water Party created a flood of media attention to the Brockton water departments practice of billing some residents as far back as 12 years on estimated reads. Many of the cities meters are failing and accountability is being blamed on the residents. Ayanna Cato as seen on Fox channel 25 spoke about what has been happening to Brockton residents over the past years. BrocktonBeat spoke to Ayanna Cato today and she is focusing on the next meeting at Brockton City Hall on September 7th at 7pm."We are urging all the residents to show up at this meeting." Ayanna Cato along with Robert Ford and several other residents who have been the most visible have formed a grassroots group for water billing reform. Ms. Cato and Mr.Ford are also urging residents to get in touch with the Inspector Generals Office and to also mail their information and copies of their bills to them.
