Anybody else run into this? Many people who live in and even just outside of what qualifies for a town here were offered public water for cheap. So they hooked up. All of them had productive wells but part of the deal was that they had to cap them. A few years went by and the crooks in office decided since the water system was so overloaded now they had to dig it all up and replace it with larger pipe. So they sent everyone on the public supply a bill for $10-$25k depending on house size, due and payable immediately. That's the good news. Now that they were able to run that scam on the "towners" they came up with a new one. Believe it or not, they are going to tax towners based on the their lot sizes for the rain that falls on it! That money will be used to build a storm drain system to treat the rain water before it goes into the lake (a separate sanitary sewer system exists; that water already goes to a treatment plant). I live far from town and have my own well and septic. And it's going to stay that way.
