Why should the property owners who already paid for the sewer construction projects in their neighborhood have to pay for additional projects in other neighborhoods?

If the cost of a swer construction project will be millions more because it is near the coast or because of other factors, those who live there should pay for the cost of construction. Or if sewer are not the answer they should pay to build whatever system is needed to properly dispose of their waste.

The issue here is that the same people who have mismangaed the Warwick Sewer Authority are still in charge. The entire state wide enableing legislation that created the WSA should be eliminated and the authoirty put back in the hands of the city council and the mayor just like the DPW and other city departments. At least then there would be some accountability.

Giving $30 million more in debt service to the WSA to continue sewer projects is only going to lead to more projects under assessed and massive increases in usage fees. That is not fair and one of the main reasons people do not want to hook up to the sewers and have no confidence in the existing over site of WSA operations.
