Water at a Price?

The Daily Advance posted a column this week with some scary costs involving our water in the county. Double this cost, triple that, increases, increases, increases----for US---citizens already here and settled. Currituck County is one of the fastest growing in the state. Why wasn't it discussed that increasing a tap fee for NEW connections to approximately $5,000-$6,000.00 would satisfy the costs that will be incurred with the RO plant. Also, the decrease in cost involved with the proposed outfall by shortening it from 21 miles to 8 could be accomplished by taking it across Currituck Sound and connecting it to the existing outfall at Corolla.
Oh, but wait, those things can't be done by this board---they were proposals suggested by a former Commissioner, Paul Martin, nearly 2 years ago so we know then, they must be cast aside.
