Because that’s a cost of $5600 per resident of the city(1.3b/230k). A family of 4 cost would be over $20k for their share.

Really the state/fed funding is the only way to make this feasible. You have new residents to the city (new movers or new born for the last 50 years) who are on the hook for over 100 years worth of bad infrastructure.

Other newer cities and large urban areas have the luxury of not trying to shoehorn two sewage systems into space that’s been built up like Lynchburg Richmond and Alexandria (or was it Arlington?)
