While it's encouraging to see the town taking steps to put the sewer fund back on track, it's important to recognize how we got here. A significant factor contributing to the current financial strain was the $3.8 million expansion of the municipal sanitary sewer system in 2016—an expansion that was intended to support future development that continues to be blocked by persistent NIMBY opposition. That investment was predicated on growth that has yet to materialize, leaving ratepayers footing the bill for infrastructure that's currently underutilized. Meanwhile, residents are now facing annual 9% rate increases just to stabilize the system—yet they’re not benefiting from the expansion that was supposed to help distribute those costs more broadly through new hookups.
