Thanks for all the responses. As for the quote above, having spent my career in utility construction and engineering I can tell you without a doubt this is not true. Developers pay nothing for utility construction EXCEPT when they make changes after the fact like rearranging neighborhoods or lot sizes etc then the utilities want compensation for the rearrangements. Some want more than others in what they want to be reimbersed for, this is where fall outs with the developers are most likely to happen. If a utility company starts to fall behind in construction schedules they just hire more contractors from other areas and especially these days everyone is looking for work.
