The plant itself, no; however, the construction of the plant and sewer lines requires a massive bond issue, which means there's plenty of money for graft and corruption.

[iThe price tag of a wastewater treatment plant proposed for Naalehu has increased to $40.5 million. ]The project was previously reported to cost $20.3 million.
After which, if there isn't enough in the slush fund, it's trivial to raise rates.

The current $27 monthly fee for single-family and multi-family residential units would increase to $39 monthly on March 1, $46 monthly in 2020 and $52 monthly in 2021, under the plan.[/i]
Given a choice, I'll pay for a septic system.
