City Moves To Annex Surrounding Areas For City Services
City of Aiken warns residents in unincorporated pockets that ownership transfers will trigger loss of city water sewer and fire protection unless an annexation agreement is signed. City Manager Steven Thompson says about 600 properties could gradually shift as the map redefines municipal boundaries over decades. He argues the council has a right to withdraw services from nonconforming parcels and enforce the policy by Oct 1.

Annexation dispute ties Aiken fire service duties
Aiken County Administrator Bill Shepherd warns the City of Aiken cannot refuse to provide fire services to unincorporated areas within the Aiken Fire District without breaching a county contract dated November 16 1998. The county treasurer collects all five fees for the city and disburses payments monthly, and the only remedy would be contract renegotiation to halt fee collection. County residents pay higher water sewer and fire protection rates, a rise approved in the 1994 95 budget, with non city residents bearing the increased fire protection costs.
