It’s really needed, plus, it will raise property values. The County hasn’t educated a lot of us to the benefits, and the things taken so long we’ve had to submit paperwork twice. It’s like pulling teeth to learn why we’re still waiting.

They can’t be tearing up blocks of front yards to repair a failed system without facing the wrath of the property owners.

I’m hoping that some process in place to make sure that the sewers are deep enough. I know at least 1 neighborhood that did this conversion (several decades ago) but didn’t bury the sewer line deep enough for gravity to do all of work from the dwellings along-side, leaving the property owners to eat the cost of installation and maintenance to install sump tanks and pumps.

Then we could put the lines in the right of way and not have any grinder pumps or large gravity lines..

Now we will have the ‘poverty’ crowd screaming ‘water and sewer poverty’. Second, from the article: “As an incentive to have property owners connect to the sewer system, all costs related to connections and septic tank abandonment are paid for as part of the construction project estimated at a $10,000 savings per property. Any property owner who waits until the completion of the project to sign up will be responsible for all connection costs.”. You can count on a whole lot of folks swearing they did not know this. Can’t wait for the ‘nonsense’ to start…and it will.
