Reality, There are two different issues. That would make sense if the rules had always been that way. But, many residents were told if you don't hook into the sewers you would be charged a connect capable fee. The city council changed the policy when a couple of residents complained they couldn't afford it. Plenty of other residents that did it can't afford it either. The city should have been consistent with its policy. That would have been fair to all involved. Personally I would have tied in either way. It isn't an issue for me. I think for residents that can show they have a system that is perfectly equal to sewers they should be able to keep their system, but they should also pay a connect capable fee.

The second issue is the construction of the sewers. All have to pay for the construction. If they run it down your street it only makes sense that all share the cost of construction. I don't have children now or ever have I had children in the schools. I don't use them but they are important to my city. Sometimes we pay for services that we don't use. For me that's schools and libraries. I only care that I get a good value from my money. I visited our central library once and was pleased to see a full parking lot and a lot of people taking advantage of the facility. I can't say the same for our schools, as the quality of education in a community is key to the stability of home values.
