The Aiken County Public Service Authority accepts an 11.789 million EPA grant to build the 31 million Horse Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant. The package includes 108 million for trunk lines, 3.3 million from FHA for rural share, and local costs from Aiken, North Augusta, Graniteville and United Merchants to be paid by sewer customers with no tax money involved. The grant follows a state Supreme Court ruling that voided a 1974 referendum.
