Sure. As mentioned with respect to almost all the other topics above....all it takes is money.
The irony is that citizens (and in response, the cities and gov't entities that represent them) have insisted on low, low, low rates, don't spend any unnecessary money (and almost ALL money is "unnecessary," don't you know). So, decades upon decades of deferred maintenance is coming due. And just like your house, when you've been skimping on maintenance and spending $500 a year, just replacing a shingle here and there, putting a bucket under leaky spots, etc.....eventually, you can't avoid the fact that you've got to do a whole roof replacement for $30k.
We have the infrastructure we've demanded for the past 50+ years (deliver me utility service, but don't spend any money doing so). Now, we're starting to demand things like "maybe it shouldn't leak so much that we don't have enough water to drink next month." Cool. The bill for the system you've asked for is coming due.
Note that this applies to roads and bridges, water, sewer....all of it. The Boomers got it all built for cheap with post-war prosperity, and then insisted that they not pay a penny to maintain any of it (and they got their wish, meaning more money stayed in their pockets). Now, like any number of any short-sighted Boomer policies....it's time to pay the piper. Out of our pockets, of course. Not theirs.
