If growth was just stopped, would we need a wastewater plant expansion?

We would still need an expansion. The regulations set by State and Federal regulatory agencies are becoming more stringent and our current plant cannot treat wastewater to the upcoming standards. The project would look slightly different if future growth were to stop completely. However, rates would increase even further for current residents if growth were to end completely because impact review would drop to zero.
