During a recent government meeting, residents of Woods Edge expressed strong opposition to a proposed water and sewer project that would extend municipal services to their area. One resident, who has lived in the community for nearly five decades, voiced concerns over the high costs associated with the project, stating that the financial burden would be particularly challenging for many retirees in the neighborhood.

The resident highlighted that their current well water has been reliable and free of issues, contrasting it with reports of water quality problems in nearby Brookfield. They argued that the proposed municipal water system could potentially deliver inferior quality water at a significant cost, which they deemed unacceptable.

Additionally, the resident criticized the timing of the project, noting that interest on the costs would begin accruing immediately, placing further financial strain on homeowners. They questioned the necessity of the project, suggesting that the tax revenue generated from new developments in the area could be used to fund improvements without imposing additional costs on existing residents.

The sentiment among attendees was clear: many felt that the proposed water and sewer services would not provide sufficient benefits to justify the expense. The resident concluded by formally requesting that the governing body vote against the project, emphasizing a desire to maintain their current water source and avoid unnecessary financial burdens.
