Who pays for Growth?
We do.
Many of the small cities and Bellingham need to update drinking water and wastewater treatment plants in order to accomodate growth.

Costs rising as Brightwater repair hits new snag
By Keith Ervin
Seattle Times staff reporter
"The Brightwater sewage-treatment project, which is costing local ratepayers $1.8 billion, is delayed yet again because fixing a damaged tunnel-boring machine stuck deep underground will take months longer than originally thought."
"King County wastewater-treatment officials said Tuesday the machine, which has been idled 340 feet beneath Bothell since May, won't resume digging until early next year. They had expected the machine to be back in action last month to continue work on a pipeline that will carry treated sewage from Brightwater to Puget Sound.'
"The delay likely will push completion of the project — originally scheduled for 2010 — into 2012, project manager Gunars Sreibers said Tuesday."
