PrepTest 89, Section 3, Question 13
Mayor: Some residents complain that the city has no right to require homeowners to connect to city water services, even though we are doing so in order to ensure public health and safety. But they are wrong. We will charge the homeowners a fair market price for the service, and our plan will benefit all of the city's residents by increasing city revenue and by making the city a healthier and safer place in which to live.
