Bronte residents debate funding a sewer system with a tax levy and potential equalization to offset unserved properties. Voters will decide March 19 on tying on during construction, with a proposed 25 dollar connection fee and costs for laying lines varying by distance and contractor volume.
Officials argue the project can pay for itself over 30 years with 300 users at 2.50 monthly plus charges for larger users. Annual revenue would exceed 10,000 dollars, funding operation and bond payments, avoiding a tax levy. If taxes were required, Bronte would face under 40 cents per year per property.
Opinion piece argues that Bronte’s sewer system would impose minimal taxes on most seniors. It notes only about 10 percent of residents are in the old age group and predicts many would pay 2 to 10 dollars annually, with a 2.50 dollar monthly service charge offset by benefits.
