What is the real cost of postponing repairs?

An infrastructure plan is most useful when it reveals an actual choice. The County’s digital Woodstock wastewater chapter compares four service scenarios and recommends Scenario C. It includes asset conditions, replacement values and assumptions about investment and asset life. A staff recommendation is not, by itself, proof that Council adopted that scenario or funded every associated project. This is a strong starting point for comparing what representatives would spend now, the rate impact and the risk left for future users. The same discipline should apply across County infrastructure: identify the condition evidence, service target, adopted investment and subsequent results.
