City of Poquoson
“The city of Poquoson is one of the first localities in
Hampton Roads to approve a plan that consolidates sewer improvement projects
under one regional district. The city council unanimously entered into a
memorandum of agreement, which must be approved by every municipality if it is
to be implemented at all, with the Hampton Roads Sanitation District. This
likely means higher rates for residents, but the hikes could be greater if the
city decided to tackle the infrastructure work on its own, according to a note
to the council from the city's engineer Ellen Roberts.
The hybrid plan leaves systems under local control while
placing the burden of high-dollar repairs on the regional body. It is projected
to save the region $1 billion throughout 30 years according to a consultant's
study.”
