Everyone is all upset about the high price of water

Water Lines shmater lines Everyone is all upset about the high price of water hookups.
Instead of being upset with the bill for the water lines you should be asking who is responsible for the poor planning and approvals of the infrastructure. Citrus County is growing way beyond it's infrastructures capabilities and there is no end in sight. When you have growth like we are experiencing it only makes since to plan for the future at full density and make provisions now rather than in the future. Sure it costs more to install larger capacity lines now, but a little more now is better than alot more later. These costs are nothing compared to what we can expect in the near future, sanitary sewers, storm water systems, none of this has been planned well and we will all pay for the incompetence of the people who make the decisions. It always cost more to correct a problem when it has been put off until it is out of control than to design and build it from the beginning. It is unpopular to go up against the developers and construction industry but someone has got to start making them build for future capacities rather than current need. I think the FGUA has some blame but most should be laid at the door of this county's planning department, engineering department, and development review board. Lets give credit where credit is due.
