Residents of south suburban Dixmoor want a long-term fix to the village’s water problems – WBEZ (Chicago)

Dixmoor suffers from a trifold problem: It can not afford to replace its aging infrastructure, its government lacks the financial records to pinpoint how much money is available, and the tax base continues to dwindle in a village where 20% of people live below the federal poverty line, according to the U.S. Census.

If the residents of the town, who live there and use the service, can’t afford to fix their infrastructure; why do they expect people who don’t live there and don’t use the service to pay for it?
