No one knows that yet. We were only informed yesterday.

And how could you possibly
complain about or try to negogiate a price here?


I am not complaining, nor negotiating. I am simply asking a question.

The old has to be removed as
well as possibly a mountain of contamination, then new fill goes in and then
and only then does the new plant go in.


Yes, well, I kind of guessed that already!

It's more than a lot of work and you
still have permit and inspection costs atop materials and labor. Even 300,000
or less than 10,000 per dwelling would sound absolutely credible.


Then none of the properties is saleable, therefore worthless and the
entire estate will have to be condemned as unfit for human habitation
and all residents rehoused by the taxpayer.

That's a bit on the pessimistic side. This is well within the range a
leaseholder of a flat might have to find (or borrow) in order to
maintain the common property. And any house with adjacent open land has
the possibillty of putting in their own sewage disposal arrangements if
the whole group can't get their act together. This would probably be
substantially more expensive though.


They would not get planning permission. People have already enquired
several years ago and the authorities state that there is a communal
private sewage treatment plant for the estate and that's that.
