Finally found this online...
City council has decided that developers should pay for water infrastructure in the communities they build. My question: why do anything else in the first place? Wonder how McIver voted...

Quote:
We asked mayor Dave Bronconnier why council wants to change that now, shifting the burden onto developers and ultimately, new home buyers.
He said, "It's about ensuring that those benefitting from the growth, the development community and the homebuilders, that they're contributing more towards the cost of suburban growth rather than asking existing homeowners and utility customers to pick up that burden, that cross-subsidization that's taking place.
