Gee, Why would we?

Last year, the county sewer company put a sewer line down our street. It was explained to us at the time that they were paying to put it in, and if we wanted to hook up to it, we would have to pay a fee to help cover the inital cost of the whole project. At the time, I think it was suggested at about $10K. No thanks, especially since we had just paid that to have our septic system put in.

Last week we finally got the letter from the sewer company explaining all the details and fees. Guess how much we owe them, as a Local Facilities Charge and Connection Fee?

Connection Fee/Permit: $2929
LFC: $27280.49
Total fees at the time of connection: $30,209.49

Wow. Thirty grand- to hook up and pay bi-monthly charges after that instead of having a system in place which will only cost a few hundred to have pumped... Plus, why should I pay when they never replaced my trees they killed?

What I want to know is if they will have the ability at any time in the future to force us to pay this and hook up? Hmmm?
