Water bills in Aiken spark wide complaint and outrage
The Standard reports residents complain of excessively high water charges with meter readings in question. Aiken households, including a three-person family billed $18.75 for three months, face bills that seem far above typical usage. The piece notes meters may misread and highlights fasting costs amid winter usage and some nonlocal residents paying premiums for city water. Also covered is a separate accident: James Crosland Bush, Ellenton mayor, killed instantly by a discharged shotgun at his home during a hunting discussion. Bush, 61, was a prominent Aiken County figure with a notable family and community ties. Funeral arrangements followed at Ellenton’s Church of Edenton.
