Back in 2006/07 we had another sewer project proposal in Lansing.  At that time, those included in the billing district were charged by Equivalent Dwelling Units (EDU’s).  The main difference between that proposal and the current one is that not all of the town was to be billed but only part of the town.  There too, many fringe areas would get to pay and receive no benefits.  This time, the whole town gets to pay – even the outer fringe (which most is in an Agricultural District).

Prior to the first sewer proposal in 2006/07, the town did a survey and the majority of the residents did not approve of this proposal but they went ahead anyway.  We and others fought that battle and finally won (due to lack of adequate funding). We found out the results of that proposal in an unannounced, quiet meeting held on July 7, 2007 at 8am.
