I don't know how I feel about the sale. I'm from a state where most of the utilities are owned by actual utility companies, not individuals or planned community developers. Other than Wallingford - in which the town itself owns the electric company and powerplant. The concept of a developer owning a utility is just way too foreign to me to wrap my mind about it. A planned community owning it - such as Wallingford CT, would make sense if there were younger folks who could grow up and replace the older folks who retire from the job of caring for it. But if most of the owners are already old, who will replace them? Who will train their replacements? I'm not asking for anyone to answer me. I'm just explaining why I can't grasp the concept.
