residents to decide if water worth $600 a year Greenville News
Ultimately, a majority of residents will decide.
Councilman Sid Cates told colleagues in a recent discussion that the water system is “getting a good deal” in an arrangement that means new paying customers also will foot the cost of the pipe without getting any ownership in the system.
Payne said the public utility is giving the community 12-inch lines for the price of 8-inch pipe, essentially eating $1 million in upgrade costs.
Payne himself is contributing $13,600 in taxpayer money to the project via his discretionary spending account, while the county's waterline grant fund is kicking in nearly $400,000. A state grant accounts for another $60,000 of the $3.7 million project.
That leaves $2.2 million for residents, paid by way of an “improvement district” outlined in state law.
“If we don't do it this time, we never will,” said Pack, now a 20-year veteran of bottled drinking water. The sentiment is echoed by Fire Chief Ken Taylor and others who have lived through years of proposals and cost estimates for running waterlines.
