I don't disagree about the entire communtiy benefiting from a clean bay. My point is the WSA has been so poorly managed that a might be cheaper to build alternative waste containment systems instead of expanding the WSA.

Comparing sewers to schools is nonsense because the environmental aspect of installing sewers have long been discarded by the WSA. Look at the history of how they decided to start one project over another. The decision was politically not environmentally based. Now the WSA is scrambling to generate as much revenue as possible through new projects because they are millions of dollars in debt. They need more customers.

Compare a bill from 7 years ago to today. The sewer user fees have more then doubled.

According to a knowledgable source, for some of the recently proposed sewer projects, (some near the coast) if you take the total cost of construction and divide it by the number of property owners within the project, each owner would be assessed bwtween $20 - $30,000. Do you really think the WSA will ever propose that expense on homeowners? The existing $81 per foot will not cover the cost of construction on any project.

It is my fear and that of many others that these projects will once again be underassess and the WSA will jack up the user fees to pay for the debt.

If the cost of sewers was reasonable, would anyone be complaining or for that matter refuse to connect into the system?
