If you’re not on water and sewer, you need to pay anyway.

One of the advantages of our very rural CT town is there is no public water or sewer anywhere in town. In fact there is none within miles of the town line.

Everyone has their own well and septic system.

That makes significant development totally impossible, and is one reason we moved and bought property here (many years ago).

The you-must-pay mindset still pervades. They will punish you for not being on the grid. You can tell me if this has happened there yet, but in some places they require you to show proof of annual inspections or pay a fine. Now don’t get me wrong, I think periodic inspections are probably not a bad idea, but who decided the frequency of that? Someone pissed off people aren’t paying for services. That’s who.
