Anyone Want To Buy A Sewer System?

I'm not keen on Plusquellic's plan to sell the Akron sewer system because of its apparent abdication of a main line government responsibility.



On the other hand as the City of Cleveland has discovered again, aging infrastructure leaves governments and taxpayers with a huge liability. I know sewer lines are not prone to bursting (thank god) but the required CSO compliance comes with a multi-billion dollar cost. That's a bill somebody is going to get stuck with.
