I would like to hear what other folks think?
Question: Do the owners of undeveloped lots in OP have to pay the quarterly $187.00 for water and sewer? Is this a per lot charge regardless of having a dwelling on the lot? When we are not using water at our home in Florida there is still a monthly charge of $15 for infrastructure maintenance on the lines etc., so that would translate to $45 per quarter. A significant difference compared to the $187 per quarter we pay here. I am not complaining. We knew up front, before we purchased our home, that there would be a minimum charge for water and sewer. As I recall, it was somewhere in the vicinity of $150 in 2001, when we purchased. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: I just did some quick math. We built our home in '95 when there were about 6000 homes in the pines if I'm not mistaken. Using 6000 homes paying for water at $150.00 per quarter, $600.00 per year is $3,600,000.00 a year so since '95 we're talking about $64,000,000.00! That's just what OP pays, no idea what the rest of the county pays. I can't imagine the cost to install pipe and maintain it over the years cost more than Sixty Four large. I know, they pay to treat the water, workers, repairs, etc. etc. but it still seems to me that we are paying way too much especially if you only use water a couple of months a year and on weekends at that. I would like to hear what other folks think? |
