| New Way Proposed to Pay for Growth in Water Needs | |
As development increases with growth, who will pay the costs for additional water and sewer needs? Right now, we all pay through our utility bills. Raleigh City Councilor Thomas Crowder this week proposed a new way to pay (at least temporarily) for new water connections during the drought. He is asking the Raleigh City Council (which controls water to towns throughout eastern Wake County) to consider adopting "water capacity impact fees" on new water connections for new buildings. This could be a new way to encourage growth to pay for itself, rather than existing residents footing the bill for new development costs. Read the N&O story here. | |
