Subcontractor dispute over New Ellenton sewer payments
Lewis Whitlaw, a major subcontractor on New Ellenton's $5.025 million sewer project, claims payments differ from city documents. FOIA records show $252,326.91 paid, but Whitlaw says no checks were received for the minor work, amid broader allegations of misused funds and incomplete construction. The issue adds to residents' protests over property takings for the sewer project and ongoing investigations into the sewer fund.
