MANDATORY SEWER INSTALLATION COST

We live in a neighborhood that had a sewer extension installation that was mandatory.  If you did not connect or pay the apportionment amount of $6,450.28 for the sewer installation.  In addition to the the $6,450.28 my property resides in an area that is subject to System Development and this was and additional $2,178 charge.  If you didn't pay it in full at time of connection you would be charged interest at 4.5%.  So I paid a total of $8928.28 to our Regional Water Resource Agency.  Failure to do so would result in a lien being put on your property.  I also had an additional $2800, for a plumber to connect the sewer to my home.  Is any portion of this tax deductible?
