What Is Chlamydia? Chlamydia is a common STD that can infect both men and women. It can cause serious, permanent damage to a woman's reproductive system, making it difficult or impossible for her to get pregnant later on. Chlamydia can also cause a potentially fatal ectopic pregnancy (pregnancy that occurs outside the womb).
Since your water &/or sewer bills are calculated, in part based on consumption (with the exception of some out of city flat rate sewer areas), a leak can result in a much higher than normal water bill. Some leaks are easier to find than others, such as a dripping faucet or a running toilet.
Portland's water and sewer rates are going up again - but not quite as much as expected. The typical customer should expect a $4.42 monthly increase in combined water, sewer and stormwater charges, or an increase of 4.7 percent from today's $94.79 monthly bill. The increases, unanimously approved by the Portland City Council on Wednesday, go into effect July 1.
