We live in the southwest corner of Utah,(Cedar City ) in our subdivision we own the water company with two hundred co-owners participating.. We all pay $25.00 per month regardless of use,,our electricity is 0.8 cents per Kilowatt,, our natural gas is 8.8 cents per Dekatherm,( my average is 0.35 Dekatherms per year)( 1 Dekatherm = 1 million BTUs).
My property tax is $900.00 per year for 1 full acre of ground ( corner lot) Our trash pick-up is $14.00 per month and we are under pressure to be annexed into the city ( we have beat it back three times in the past )
I see no advantage in annexation for any reason,, our streets are owned and maintained by the county ( and well ), our fire protection is county provided,,(we own all our fire hydrants )( I have one at each opposite corners of my lot).......My neighbor is wildly for annexation and I cannot understand why, after enjoying the freedom of county living for 19 years I can't imagine giving it up for much greater taxation and useless ordinances in our lives..
