It sounds like the county that was bankrupted left themselves at the mercy of the business.

Yes and no. I believe in this case they had an obligation to provide the sewer, and water/sewer ratepayers are responsible for costs. You can’t make an individual ratepayer responsible for the sewer.

Definitely a bad situation and a story told a thousand times in the US
