What Waste

There is a bit of a disruption in the farce primarily around storm water. Seems the city has been using, some say abusing, the private waste water infrastructure in some neighborhoods. This [ab]use is costing these groups of homeowners and the city is ignoring their concerns. 

It is almost a shame the city founders insisted on taking over storm water, especially since they've tapped the funds for their spending peccadilloes. Priorities. Think about that every time you pass one of those Dunwoody Dildos. 

Would the county be any better? City propagandists would say thee nay, but maybe. We're no longer serviced, for storm water, by the county, but we do get water/sewer from them and maybe that's an analogy. Maybe not, but maybe.

Now that's a water bill. In Dunwoody. Notice anything interesting? No, no, not the Total Amount. Well maybe, but the amount is fairly low because there is no charge for sewerage. Why would that be? Because this homeowner is not connected to DeKalb Sewer and ... wait for it ... consequently does not pay for sewer service. 

Wow! What a concept. 

Imagine a community with privately owned roads and a retention pond system to contain all storm water runoff---from roads, roofs and yards. This community would use no storm water facilities beyond what they own and manage. Should they pay anyone else any fees whatsoever to anyone else? The city seems to think so. In fact, the city thinks they can dump stormwater into this private system without compensating them at all. 

Still think all things DeKalb are bad and all things Dunwoody are great?
