Ridge Spring weighs regional sewer system link and funding
Mayor says water charges must rise and loans hinge on higher revenue. Burger estimates joining the regional sewer system costs about $677,000 with $150,000 from local industry and grants of $300,000 to $500,000. A loan of $27,000 to $227,000 would be needed, depending on grant size, to make improvements while a garbage fee increase to $8 monthly faces protest and threats of water cutoffs.

Soggy South Aiken Faces Flooding Drains Strain
Alvin Bryan, Aiken County public works director, reports water on the south side of Aiken backing up to S.C. 19 amid heavy rain. Areas most affected include Wedgewood Drive near College Acres, Glenwood Drive off Pine Log Road, Sunshine Circle in Chukker Creek, and Powderhouse Road near College Acres. County Council meetings have addressed flooding complaints as two inches of rain fell with more forecast, and dirt roads remain passable but sloppy. The flooding is blamed on undersized pipes after years of development, creating water-absorption problems described as the bottom of a bowl in Woodwardia Glen and Powderhouse Road.
