Bill May Be Offered To Ease PSA Dilemma
The Aiken County Public Service Authority may be reconstituted to retain its powers without making the county liable for projects. County Attorney John H. Williams notes a state wide legislative approach could bypass constitutional limits and protect the Horse Creek Wastewater Treatment Project from county liability. Williams cites the Regional Health Services District Act as a model and says Sen. Gilbert McMillan may seek such legislation. Authority counsel Douglas Garvin supports a state level fix to shield the county and district from pledged faith and credit concerns.
