That's a moot point, probably as is the majority of our back/forth on this topic.
I think any and everyone recognizes that some residential neighborhoods can be found in more rural settings. However, FarmerJ's reference was about older posts and those posts "typically" involved properties in rural areas where the property owner needed to obtain easements and cross neighboring properties to tap into existing sewer systems...did they not? He can speak for himself, but I think that's what he was referring to in regards to cost savings. P.S. And you're much less likely to find public water and sewer systems in neighborhoods built in unincorporated or rural areas. The cost to extend and maintain sewer/water systems miles beyond service areas typically doesn't justify the initial investment by the water/sewer entity or the upfront cost for the developer to pay or share in the cost.
