Would everyone in the proposed water line expansion area have to pay a special tax to cover water-line construction costs?
No. Only owners of developed properties with habitable dwellings (houses, mobile homes, apartments, etc.) or other structures with plumbing would be obligated to connect to the water line and to pay the yearly water line tax and other associated fees. New connections would pay at the time of connection to the service. All properties developed in the future (within the water line expansion area) would be required to connect to the public water service.
