Mayor David Cassetti pitches the WPCA sale to residents in a video from April 2024.
ANSONIA – The City of Ansonia is relying on the sale of its sewer system to keep its financial position afloat, according to a report from a global bond rating agency.
In a report dated Dec. 5, S&P Global Ratings announced that it was revising Ansonia’s debt outlook from “stable” to “negative” – meaning that, if the city’s financial direction stays the same, its bond rating could be downgraded.
A bond rating is a measure of a city’s financial health. It affects interest rates whenever a city borrows money – the stronger the rating, the lower the interest rate.
The report says that Ansonia produced operating deficits for the last two years, and that it is planning to pay for regular expenses using the proceeds from a one-time sale.
