After a vote in 2022 that approved extending the Colchester Town sewer system into Malletts Bay, I suppose I'm not surprised that a business like the ISS is being forced out. Despite construction not starting until 2024, and projected to extend into 2026, the landlords stand to gain a lot more value for their property with a sewer connection. This means more, different tenants with different and/or greater water/sewer needs can make use of the property, and pay higher rents, of course. The research pointed to Malletts Bay sewer helping greatly to keep wastewater out of the lake, but surely that's not the only benefit. I think this will lead to greater development of the Malletts Bay area. Good or bad, you decide.
