How do you not recoup your costs if you charge appropriately for the
cost of service? Part of the cost is a reserve for predictable
maintenance and growth.
Why is a town relying on state funds to provide service to the town?
Why should the town not be providing all strictly local service?
That is actually a simple problem to solve. You charge new customers
