Stable — consistent level of discussion. 2 mentions in the last 30 days, 3 the 60 before.
This move could mean higher water bills for us if the private company charges more than our current plant.
The private water company will likely benefit from this deal, and we might benefit if they can provide water more reliably.
We could be harmed if this new deal ends up costing us more money or if the private company doesn't deliver.
