It is possible Suffolk city officials are well into devising plans to force home-owners with private wells to cough up fees or taxes for using ground water. Of course it matters not what you paid for drilling the well, or the cost of bringing water from 500 feet down to your home via piping, pumps and electric motors. It is easy for the powerful elected to ignore all but the fact that your water is free, while those without wells pay through the nose for it and sewers as well. Then there is the additional cost of maintaining a well. Somehow they will figure it is merely they are “going greener.” Watch out for these people, you didn’t plan on paying for your trash pickup or being forced to recycle. Officials might better study the opportunities to cut programs that aren’t working, aren’t constitutional, and not the government’s responsibility in the first PLACE. Forget getting even more revenue from the public.

I didnt know the city owned the mineral rights. Can it be found or documented in any original chater or other such declaration.If there is I think the Nansemonds are due a check and not the city.

In Suffolk it always is a grab for more money, which is more power. Expect to see dire speaches demanding by "reason", more and more of your money to spend. Even Duman has been silent to stop much of anything along these lines. We now have manditory trash and recycle fees, higher water fees, and higher taxes. What have you really done MIKE and are you really achomplishing anything?
