School Downsizing Moves Forward in Aiken County
The Aiken County School District plans another step toward deconsolidation by sending a letter to the Legislative Delegation soliciting information. The board unanimously authorized the letter on July 20, with a fact finding mission and possible creation of two smaller districts. Senator Thomas L. Moore said lawmakers will receive copies, and a countywide referendum may be required to gauge public opinion. Agencies likely to be involved include the State Department of Education, a legislative committee, and the Department of Justice.

Water Pact Awaits Nod From Judge
An Aiken County judge weighs a motion to compel completion of a court approved agreement between two water districts over about 400 customers along Pine Log Road and Piney Heights. Beech Island Rural Community Water District would withdraw from VPSA territory, VPSA would buy Beech Island water wholesale and bill customers retail, with Beech Island paying $30,000 in costs. The order requires VPSA to meter water on Legion Road and Pine Street and limits Beech Island from further encroachment while preserving the 1969 1970 jurisdiction boundaries.
