Residents of Fresno’s Southeast Development Area may be forced to spend up to $100,000 to connect to city water and sewer services. The plan requires residents to hook up to the services within five years of their availability. City officials claim they will offer financing options, but many residents fear it’s unaffordable. The development plan has sparked concerns about population growth, pollution, and the loss of rural lifestyle.
