Re: This is a sad story

Municipalities do that when a developer wants to extend services (sewer, water, etc) to a development in an area that will have services in the near-future. We call them "Oversizing charges" and whenever someone else connects to the service, the developer or owner gets a rebate or credit.

We tried to bargain when it came to my grandmother and getting cable TV. They would budge if we paid $10,000. Eventually, the run came down the street, but the point is that it was a shame it worked out that way.
