Why didn’t the township tell us this sooner instead of scaring us with the $40,000 figure?
The Township did not seek to scare anyone regarding the $40,000. figure. As stated at the June 29, 2006 meeting, a figure of $36,000 for the Windsor Place development only was used at a recent joint meeting of the Board of Supervisors and the UUTMA. The respective boards were exploring financing options and requested from staff to put together some options based upon the worst case scenario. The $36,000 figure for Windsor Place was the highest individual cost for any development slated for public sewer on a per home basis. As stated by Supervisor Kerr at the June 26 meeting, the Township should have done a better job of explaining what that meant rather than allowing the township “grapevine” to cause serious concern.
