Impact analysis
PID financing is required for major infrastructure; the capacity reservation doesn't waive impact fees or connection charges.
The developer gains financing certainty; future renters gain apartment options the developer says are needed, especially if a new power plant brings workers.
Other properties connecting to the same eight-inch sewer line could compete for capacity before it's upsized.
