My guess is that they will never assess the property owners the true cost of the sewer construction projects. Politically for thiose council members in those areas it counld cost them their seats. Rather the sewer board will continue with the current linear footage method and thus occur millions of dollars in additional debt that will be passed onto all current sewer users in the form of increased usgae fees. That on top of the $23 million to be spent upgradiing the treatment plant will also lead to even higher swer usage fees.

Next time you get your combined water/sewer bill take a look at the usuage fee. According to sources about 47% of that fee is paying for under assessed past projects. That means the true cost to treat the water you are putting into the sewer system is really half of what the WSA is charging you.

And our elected leaders on the council wnat to give the WSA the authority to borrow $56 million more. It's time to wake up Warwick taxpayers.

If I was a property owner without sewers I would take a serious look at spending the $20,000 for a state of the art septic system. At least with that system there would be no money paid in the form of sewer usage fees to the Warwick Sewer Authority.
