Arthur A. Foreman Jr of Aiken has a city meter approved well in his yard installed in July 1980. The 200 foot four inch well, used for lawn irrigation, prompted city inspections and cooperation from officials. Foreman notes no clear cut in bills but a freedom to water more.
Aiken City Manager Roland Windham explains that rising sewer costs stem from stricter federal rules and stream upgrades. The Horse Creek regional project, with 75 percent EPA funding, replaced separate plans for a costly tertiary plant and reduced pollution in the Savannah River. The city now bills users to cover a nearly $39 million facility and seeks extra capacity for future needs.
City officials weigh changes to sewer charges in response to rising water costs. Current minimums total 16.22 with 4 garbage fee, while winter-use shifts could redistribute charges based on seasonal water flow. City Manager Windham notes restructuring may raise per unit rates to meet fixed treatment costs.
