The suburban jurisdictions that feed into the DC Water sewer system are paying for the upgrades through increased fees as well. And now that the federal government has said that it too will pay the new fees, it's not just DC residents shouldering the costs by ourselves. Everyone who uses the sewer system is contributing to its rehabilitation. The issue is that I believe the WaPo Op-Ed writer was suggesting that an even larger share of people, including those who do not feed into the sewer system, should have to bear an increased cost. That is, at least to me, a bit too far off base.

@Tom and Jim

I contacted DC Water and asked them for specifics about the underground pumping situation. They said they would get back to me with details in response to the discussion here.
