The short explanation of this alert was:

A group of developers called Culpeper Utility Partners (CUP), LLC is trying to sell an oversized water and sewer proposal that would force Culpeper to recruit growth at an unsustainable rate or saddle taxpayers with massive debt. The proposal CUP has brought before Culpeper County would provide water and sewer service for the Town Environs growth area—but the Town of Culpeper is upgrading infrastructure to serve the same area. This overlap would result in excess capacity of at least one million gallons, the equivalent of 5,000 homes. 

The CUP plans costs $128 million and the only way to recoup that expense is to connect the  proposed sewer & water system to new developments, with rural lands in the crosshairs.  If the new developments don’t come, taxpayers will pay back the costs with interest.
