System not wanted

Dear Editor:

The incoming municipal wastewater service hookup is set to cost Erin residents tens of thousands of dollars per household and hundreds of dollars in service costs yearly after hooking up.

Almost all existing households have functioning septic systems and wells as they are a necessary part of a functioning household. Why should homeowners be forced to incur costs for a service they already have?

Forcing costs for things we do not want is the opposite of what our government should be doing for us.
