We're going through a similar situation, only with sewers, in the county where our farm is located. They're installing a "county-wide sewer system" that will reach all the rural areas in the next 10 years. (Or so they CLAIM) Your "tap-in fee" will be based on the distance between your house and the NEXT one in the line. In the case of our farmhouse, that's over 2 miles. Our fee will be almost $70,000. According to the county commisioners, we will be forced to tie into the sewers. WE DON'T EVEN LIVE THERE! Now here's the real stinger. We have to pay the tap-in fee NOW. Due and payable in the next 3 months. It may be up to 10 years before we see sewer service. (IF it ever gets there in the first place) My solution....We MIGHT have to demolish the old farmhouse that my GREAT-GREAT-Granfather built....Drastic measure, huh?
The entire "plan" is being challenged by a lawsuit. Out of over 3000 households effected by the plan, only THREE people are in favor of it.
Now the REAL story. One of the county commisioners will be the contractor installing the system......IF it ever happens. John
