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.

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.
There are no “annual inspections” in this town—and there is no one to make such inspections—and no money available to pay such people in the future.
New construction is another matter, but as I pointed out we are hostile to new development anyway....
