That's not universally true. The sewer system in my town was overbuilt in anticipation of a development that fell through. That's why sewer / water bonds are typically up for vote separately from property taxes because there's such an interplay with development.

That's still cheap when you're looking at the whole picture. Sewer is much cheaper than police, EMS, road construction/maintenance, schools, etc.
