[QUOTE="db-2, post: 394012, member: 4743"] Right now, are streets are crab. Been fixing here and there as we can afford. But in the ground we have cast iron pipes for sewer and lead pipes for water. A few years ago, it was 15 million to fix and now 25 million. To fix all, the property tax will increase $2,100 for each parcel. Many cannot afford and those few that could are not willing to pay. So a plan of increasing tax $300 on each parcel for the next 20 years along with some grants and a 1% sale tax increase to fix the pipes below the ground. That would leave gravel and old asphalt for our streets. Not sure how if ever that will be fix. Will it pass a vote of the people? In the past it has not. If not, then we drink water from lead pipes and fix cast iron pipes as they break. But maybe someone not on the council has a plan. Streets will continue with their holes. I am sure Bismark will not allocate money to us to fix as they need funds for flood control. db [/QUOTE]
