So home owners property taxes would go up 2400 a year?
I did not attend the Town Board meeting last night. I did read portions of the meeting online. Is it true this was mentioned at the meeting as the cost to taxpayers to fix the sewers.

Who other than property owners should have to pay to repair the sewers?

Who other than property owners would pay for "preventative maintenance" and creating a cash reserve? And what difference does it make now that those things were not done. Who other than the property owners should pay for the repair of the sewers?
People are arguing about this issue as if someone else should have to pay for the repairs. who would that be?
TJ Pignataro should research an article before writing on West Seneca sewer problem. You would think his editor would question how in one report { Live blog of West Seneca Town Board Meeting last week } , he reported taxes going up on West Seneca taxpayer's $200/month for 30 years. Today he writes the increase to Town taxpayer's on the sewer bond is costing $200/ a year. Which is it ? If you are going to report the news you should attempt to write facts. The difference between the two articles to Town residents is very substantial.
No way it was $200 a month, common sense would tell one that. But then again when it comes to WNY politics common sense is out the door.

Maybe Town residents should get their information directly from the town instead of relying on some blogger and then squawking like a large, hysterical Chicken Little because said blogger got his/her numbers skewed. I went to the Town of WS website, followed the "government" tab into the town board meeting calendar, and found this agenda item document: Sanitary Sewer Meeting.
Apparently this sewer project doesn't affect everyone in the town, but only those in certain sewer districts. And the cost is estimated to be about $200 a year, not $2400 a year. It's all there in black and white.

Flat fee or based on the value of your home? $200 / 12 = $16 a month. If it needs to be done it needs to be taken care of. I wonder why maintenance/replacement items are not accounted for each year so there is some money left for the projects. Why always borrow if not needed. You save money.Apparently this sewer project doesn't affect everyone in the town, but only those in certain sewer districts. And the cost is estimated to be about $200 a year, not $2400 a year.

It's based on the assessed value of the homes in the affected areas. The cost of the sewer upgrades is about $30 million according to the document, and is the result of the Consent Decree with the DEC. It affects only 3 sewer districts in the town.
It's kind of hard to "plan" for that big a project that isn't routine maintenance/replacement. Most taxpayers would be put out if their town was stockpiling tens of millions of dollars in a "rainy day fund".
