New Ellenton Council votes to break sewer bond order
New Ellenton Acting Mayor Axel Adams urged the City Council to prioritize sewer operating costs over state debt payments on the $5,025,000 Sewer System Revenue Bond. The unanimous first reading backed using system revenues to cover operations, while debt payments to the state would follow. Council members warned the move could violate the bond ordinance and questioned its validity, noting many had not seen the ordinance filed with the county clerk.
