I mean I paid for it like I would anything else I wanted. They charge a tax at checkout. So if I buy a house and pay the whole thing off, why do I still have to pay taxes on said house when I paid the whole agreed on price in full? It would be like me buying a six pack of beer I pay for it and tax at checkout. But then timely I have to keep paying taxes on the beer even though paid in full?
Why? They belong to the city up untill the border of your yard and from there it’s your pipes, not the city’s. They didn’t install those - the builder hired a plumber for it.
