Burnettown leaders push to save Langley Pond via ballot questions
Burnettown Mayor C H Williams joined Aiken County School Board member Larry Murphy and activist Bobby Rutland at a Langley Pond press conference urging support for Local Questions 1 and 2. The measures seek to let the county pursue water and sewer services, with a stormwater program funded by a $24 residential charge and potential bonds repaid by beneficiaries. Contaminant concerns include E coli and fecal matter from septic systems, as Langley Pond area faces rising water quality issues and growth pressure.
