When my city digs up all the streets near me to replace the sewer, storm, and many of the water pipes, how long until it recoups those costs via those services?

At some point, cities make infrastructure expenditures and don’t treat them as a bond investment directly against future income. This means some people pay more than they get and others get more than they pay.
