Ambiguity in Tax Question Clouds Horse Creek Plant Referendum
Aiken County voters face a November referendum on funding Horse Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant. Officials insist approval won’t raise taxes, noting 75 percent EPA federal funds and 25 percent revenue bonds to be repaid by sewage operation. Project costs total 22 million with 16.5 million federal grant and 5.5 million funded by bonds. The vote stems from a legal ambiguity over bonds and state code, with potential future cost risks if the referendum fails.
